BTW, what is a "double belly buster"?
[/ QUOTE ]
Say you hold JT, and the flop comes AQ8. Then either a K or a 9 will complete a straight. If the flop comes K9<font color="red">7</font>, then either a Q or an <font color="red">8</font> will complete a straight. In either case, you have 8 outs from the 2 separate inside straight draws. An inside straight draw is called a "gut-shot" draw, so 2 gut-shot draws are called a "double gut-shot" draw or a "double belly-buster" draw. There will always be 2 possible double belly-buster flops for every connector from 54 to JT. For 43 and QJ, there is only 1 possible double belly-buster flop, and the remaining connectors have none. It is also possible with any starting hand having <font color="red">1-3 gaps, or 5 gaps.</font>
