This article is about poker terminology relating to drawing cards or drawing

hands. For the variant of poker, see draw poker

A poker player is drawing if they have

a hand that is incomplete and needs further cards to become valuable. The hand itself

is called a draw or drawing hand. For example, in seven-card stud, if four of a

player's first five cards are all spades, but the hand is otherwise weak, they are

drawing to a flush. In contrast, a made hand already has value and does not necessarily

need to draw to win. A made starting hand with no help can lose to an inferior starting

hand with a favorable draw. If an opponent has a made hand that will beat the player's

draw, then the player is drawing dead; even if they make their desired hand, they will

lose. Not only draws benefit from additional cards; many made hands can be improved by

catching an out � and may have to in order to win.

Outs [ edit ]

An unseen card that

would improve a drawing hand to a likely winner is an out. Playing a drawing hand has a

positive expectation if the probability of catching an out is greater than the pot odds

offered by the pot.

The probability P 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}} of catching an out with

one card to come is:

P 1 = o u t s u n s e e n c a r d s {\displaystyle P_{1}={\frac

{\mathrm {outs} }{\mathrm {unseen} \,\,\mathrm {cards} }}}

The probability P 2

{\displaystyle P_{2}} of catching at least one out with two cards to come is:

P 2 = 1 -

n o n o u t s u n s e e n c a r d s � n o n o u t s - 1 u n s e e n c a r d s - 1

{\displaystyle P_{2}=1-{\frac {\mathrm {non} \,\mathrm {outs} }{\mathrm {unseen}

\,\,\mathrm {cards} }}\times {\frac {\mathrm {non} \,\mathrm {outs} -1}{\mathrm

{unseen} \,\,\mathrm {cards} -1}}}

n o n o u t s = u n s e e n c a r d s - o u t s

A dead out

is a card that would normally be considered an out for a particular drawing hand, but

should be excluded when calculating the probability of catching an out. Outs can be

dead for two reasons:

A dead out may work to improve an opponent's hand to a superior

hand. For example, if Ted has a spade flush draw and Alice has an outside straight

draw, any spades that complete Alice's straight are dead outs because they would also

give Ted a flush.

A dead out may have already been seen. In some game variations such

as stud poker, some of the cards held by each player are seen by all players.

Types of

draws [ edit ]

Flush draw [ edit ]

A flush draw, or four flush, is a hand with four

cards of the same suit that may improve to a flush. For example, K? 9? 8? 5? x. A flush

draw has nine outs (thirteen cards of the suit less the four already in the hand). If a

player has a flush draw in Hold'em, the probability to flush the hand in the end is

34.97 percent if there are two more cards to come, and 19.56 percent (9 live cards

divided by 46 unseen cards) if there is only one more card to come.

Outside straight

draw [ edit ]

An outside straight draw, also called up and down, double-ended straight

draw or open-ended straight draw, is a hand with four of the five needed cards in

sequence (and could be completed on either end) that may improve to a straight. For

example, x-9-8-7-6-x. An outside straight draw has eight outs (four cards to complete

the top of the straight and four cards to complete the bottom of the straight).

Straight draws including an ace are not outside straight draws, because the straight

can only be completed on one end (has four outs).

Inside straight draw [ edit ]

An

inside straight draw, or gutshot draw or belly buster draw, is a hand with four of the

five cards needed for a straight, but missing one in the middle. For example,

9-x-7-6-5. An inside straight draw has four outs (four cards to fill the missing

internal rank). Because straight draws including an ace only have four outs, they are

also considered inside straight draws. For example, A-K-Q-J-x or A-2-3-4-x. The

probability of catching an out for an inside straight draw is half that of catching an

out for an outside straight draw.

Double inside straight draw [ edit ]

A double inside

straight draw, or double gutshot draw or double belly buster draw can occur when either

of two ranks will make a straight, but both are "inside" draws. For example, in 11-card

games, 9-x-7-6-5-x-3, or 9-8-x-6-5-x-3-2, or in Texas Hold'em when holding 9-J hole

cards on a 7-10-K flop. The probability of catching an out for a double inside straight

draw is the same as for an outside straight draw.

Other draws [ edit ]

Sometimes a made

hand needs to draw to a better hand. For example, if a player has two pair or three of

a kind, but an opponent has a straight or flush, to win the player must draw an out to

improve to a full house (or four of a kind). There are a multitude of potential

situations where one hand needs to improve to beat another, but the expected value of

most drawing plays can be calculated by counting outs, computing the probability of

winning, and comparing the probability of winning to the pot odds.

Backdoor draw [ edit

]

A backdoor draw, or runner-runner draw, is a drawing hand that needs to catch two

outs to win. For example, a hand with three cards of the same suit has a backdoor flush

draw because it needs two more cards of the suit. The probability P r r {\displaystyle

P_{rr}} of catching two outs with two cards to come is:

P r r = o u t s u n s e e n c a

r d s � o u t s - 1 u n s e e n c a r d s - 1 {\displaystyle P_{rr}={\frac {\mathrm

{outs} }{\mathrm {unseen} \,\,\mathrm {cards} }}\times {\frac {\mathrm {outs}

-1}{\mathrm {unseen} \,\,\mathrm {cards} -1}}}

For example, if after the flop in Texas

hold 'em, a player has a backdoor flush draw (e.g., three spades), the probability of

catching two outs on the turn and river is (10 � 47) � (9 � 46) = 4.16 percent.

Completing backdoor draws is generally unlikely; the probability of seeing two out of

seven outs on the turn and river is roughly the same as completing a draw with only out

on either the turn or the river (1/47 + 1/46 = 4.3%). A backdoor outside straight draw

(such as J-10-9) is equally likely as a backdoor flush, but any other 3-card straight

draw (such as J-8-7) is less likely than getting a specific card after the flop,

calculated above.

Drawing dead [ edit ]

A player is said to be drawing dead when the

hand he hopes to complete will nonetheless lose to a player who already has a better

one. For example, drawing to a straight or flush when the opponent already has a full

house. In games with community cards, the term can also refer to a situation where no

possible additional community card draws results in a win for a player. (This may be

because another player has folded the cards that would complete his hand, his

opponent's hand is already stronger than any hand he can possibly draw to or that the

card that completes his hand also augments his opponent's.)
