As long as N>5, there are N-3 ways a straight can be formed
but for the case N=5, there is only one.
Also, the number of straights that can be formed should be

Re: Which to draw to in Draw
Your pair is too small: if you make trips, you may end up
with the second (or third) best hand in a five-way pot.

four or five when you are heads up (or even when the small
