We're talking about the ways that the pot can grow in a game of guts. We just looked at the typical way. There is another way now.

I ask you a question what happens if you dealt out the hands and you say 1 2 3 drop and everybody drops.

Let's go ahead and say we said 1 2 3 drop, everybody stayed in, we looked at the hands ace eight is a winner. Now instead of having to pay four chips, three losers have to pay eight chips. In the next pot it's twenty four.
