Let's talk about draws in the game of jacks to open. You're looking for situations where
you can call cheaply to see the draw and get a good return for the risk you're taking.
So what you don't want are what's called a gut shot straight. You want an open-ended
straight. You want four cards in a row where you can get a six or a jack, for example to
complete your straight. And you want to make sure that you're getting a good price as we
say. The same goes for this flush. The deal here is, in both the case of a flush or a,
a open-ended straight, a little less than twenty percent of the time you're going to
get a good return on your money. I'm sorry, a little less than twenty percent of the time,
you're going to hit your hand that you're trying to make. So to get a good return on
your money, make sure you're not getting two to one or three to one, make sure you're getting
four to one, five to one, and six to one, especially five to one, or six to one. Otherwise
throw it away.
