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."

Re: Need good introduction for my speech on Texas Holdem
hm.. my angle was more like:
"You've probably heard your friends talk about it. you've probably seen it on tv. but you dont quite understand what's going on. Well, I'm here to show you how to play texas holdem." but that sounds boring. It needs more excitement. and i guess the $ angle is better.

"In the poker game of life, women are the [censored] rake" ...of course then go on to explain what the rake is.
