Up and Down Straight Draw

Created by linaker on July 25, 2009

Definition

You are holding four cards of consecutive rank, so you need the card of rank one above your highest card, or one below your lowest card to make a straight. So if one of 8 cards falls, you will make a straight. Also known as an open ended straight draw.

Example

I had the KQJT, so I had an up and down striaght draw and just needed an Ace or a 9 to make a straight.
