We've been talking about the poker variant Z. You want to make sure everybody understands how the community cards work together and how you are allowed to play them. So let's deal that out. We're not going to do any betting in this example, I'm going to deal out our five down cards and then we're going to go straight to discussing our little Z. Four cards down on the board relatively shape of a Z and remember the way these cards are turned over and the way that they can be used together are a little different. The cards are turned over 1 2 3 and 4. This is the first card you turn over, this is the second community revealed, this is the third revealed, this is the fourth revealed and they can be used orthogonally together. What that means is that even though this is one and two there are cards in the way in between them so I can't use them together. I have to use when I make my hand, my five card hand at the showdown I have to use these two together or these two together or these two together. That is how you use the Z cards in the community card game of Z.
