Poker Got The Nuts

nuts

Gutshot, bellybuster and inside straight draw are all terms used to describe a hand in which the player is drawing at a single card rank to make a straight. By definition, this is at best a four-out draw (there might be fewer outs if one or more of the necessary cards is already dead). For example, in a game of Hold 'em the player holds: and the flop comes: The player now needs a ten of any. Perhaps is the '2nd Nuts', but of course it is also the nuts, because if you hold it, no one can have, and you are guaranteed to win. Or consider the board as we did in an earlier question. Some people would say is the 2nd nuts. However, since with any other heart is the nuts, it might be more correct to say is the 2nd nuts.
