Ok, well I am taking a speech class this year and we had to choose an informative topic and I chose Poker.

I have to have an intro, body (w/ 3 main points), and conclusion.

Really it just sounds like a 5 paragrapg essay that I have to read out loud.

Anyway, my question for you is what are some essential aspects to poker that I could use for my three main points? The speech has to be pretty concise (4-6 minutes) and not contain to much lingo as to confuse/bore the people who aren't that into poker.

Right now I'm tossing around a couple of main points but I want some new ideas so I'll keep those to myself for now. :)

Thanks in advance for any help.

I wouldn't do a talk on poker.

Most people think its simply pure gambling game with some cards and some chips.

Im not sure you can really take them beyond that in 4-6 minutes.

Just explaining the rules to someone who hasnt played before is 1- 2 mins! (these types of talks are generally given to people who arent expected to have any prior knowledge).

Poker is deceptively complex.. I'm not sure you can really give someone a basic overview in that amount of time.
