What do you call this draw? I mean, it's not a gutshot since the card you need is at the end of the sequence, not in the middle. Just a "one-card straight draw"? "Open-ended gutshot"?

I would call it a gutshot, for the same reason that I call any emails that I don't want to read "spam" when it originally meant numerous and unrelated posts to discussion groups. The meanings of words change over time based on use more than original (SAT WORD WARNING) etymological roots.

I think people are getting the (mistaken) impression that this is one of my hands. Just to be perfectly clear: I don't play crap like A2 /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

No way. Last night on PP. Someone bet 35 into a 250 pot, everyone called (3 callers before me), I closed the action. My stack was around a grand. Implied odds to the yingyang. I called, hit and took down a 2400 pot. The bettor had been slowing playing two pair and called wouldn't let go. Beautiful.

But MOST times it's a bad move /images/graemlins/smile.gif.
