Re: The dreaded 2nd nuts.
I have to think your turn check/call is terrible. I classic case of weak/passive poker.

Re: Inside Straight Draws
I get the message - thanks.
The weird thing was that this hand was the 4th inside str8 draw that I faced. I did not play any of them and every one of them came home. Weird.
