Hand Types
Draw
A draw is a hand that is currently not made but has the potential to become a strong hand if certain cards come on future streets. Common draws include flush draws (four cards of the same suit needing one more) and straight draws (four consecutive cards needing one more). Draws are valued based on the number of outs they have and their equity against opponents' ranges.
Example
Holding 8♥ 9♥ on a T♥ 2♥ K♠ flop gives you both a flush draw and a gutshot straight draw.
