Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 637754, member: 26306"] Most of it will come with experience. One comment though, 2 pair on the board if you have the top one you do NOT have the nuts, a pocket pair of the lower pair on the board has made quads. But back to straights. If there are 2 cards in a row on the board, a third need only be 2 away (up or down), or obviously 1 away or next to it making it 3 in a row. Example: 56 on the board. Possible draws to a straight would be a 2 (they have 34), a 3 (they have 24 or 47), a 4 (23 or 78), a 7 (89 or 34), an 8 (79 or 74), or a 9 (78). Now the other possibility is that there are 3 spaced evenly apart (ie 357 where they could have 46). Then there are the boards which only one card is needed for a straight, you've got boards with 4 in a row (pretty obvious) or 3 in a row with a gap on either side for the other one (ie 3457, 6 makes the straight). I really don't know how much that helped you but you'll learn with experience. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
