"Now let's talk about--a little more about a wrap straight hand and how it draws on the flop. Here is another example of a wrap straight hand. This is eight, seven, six, five. The eight and the seven are diamonds, the six and the five are hearts. But, actually, even if I don't get any action on my suites, I'm pretty happy if the flop hits me with the card values. And look at this flop. We've got nine, seven, four. There's two spades and one heart on the board, so in the suites it didn't really hit me, but, in addition to my pair of sevens, I've made a number of straight draws. And there's no straight potential at this time, because the four is far enough away from the seven that it can't make a straight, I know that I have what we'll call a power draw. I can make a straight--if a ten comes off, or a five comes off, I can make a straight with my eight and my six. And, if an eight comes off or a three comes off, I can make a straight with my six and my five. So you see, this is a very powerful hand. At this time, I am virtually a coin flip to draw out and make my straight. It's a powerful hand."
