Re: Need good introduction for my speech on Texas Holdem
Girls won't care so much for the "make a bundle playing this game" angle.
But they will buy the popularity angle. I don't have the exact numbers for this one, but I'm sure you can find them on the web pretty quickly:
"What is the biggest prize money event in the world today? Anyone know? The Kentucky Derby? The Super Bowl? The World Series?
On June x of this year, so-and-so won what they call the Main Event, the $10,000 buy-in No-Limit Texas Hold'Em tournament, part of the World Series Of Poker, staged in Las Vegas. He played for x days, and he took down $x million for first prize out of a total of $y million in prize money, making this poker tournament the biggest prize money event in the world.
Poker is THE game these days, and among poker players, No-Limit Texas Hold'Em is referred to as the Cadillac of poker games. I'm going to show you how it's played."
