Need good introduction for my speech on Texas Holdem
 

In my public speaking class, I chose Texas Holdem as my topic.

Audience = Mostly 19 + 20 year olds. Majority don't know anything about Texas Holdem

I'm going to discuss the basics (poker hands, preflop, flop, turn, river, betting, etc.)

But i need a good intro. Any suggestions?

I like this. I had to give a presentation on how to sell on eBay once. My openign was to throw 35 cents out to the audience, and say. In the next 15 minutes I'm going to show you how I took a 35 cent investment, and turned it into this (screenshot of paypal account with $5k in it), and how you can too.

It went over really well.
