"So let's try a hand of pyramid to see if we got it. We'll play with blinds the dealer button will be here, this person is a small blind, this person is a big blind and we start dealing our cards. It's five down to every player and then we deal out the pyramid a row of two, a row of three and a row of four. Then there's a round of betting let's say for the sake everyone just puts in the big blind, the big blind checks. The pot is right like we like to say and we move on to the top row of the pyramid to see the wild cards. These cards are not in play they denote what card values are wild and in this case four's and three's are wild. Now if I'm holding a four or a three then I got some sort of made hand. In this case it's a pair of kings, this player is actually working with three tens cause he has a three. This player has a four a pair of kings and this player just has high card queen. Then there's a round of betting for sake say that everyone checks, check, check, check we go the middle row which are the community cards. We flip them over and people find out more about the hands, this player for instance now has three eights, eight on the board, the eight on his hand the four which is wild. That is that we will discuss the rest of the hand in the next segment."
