Hi,

i've posted few hands in hand evaluation section, but i don't quite understood the answers. Could you please explain some terms for me?

1) NL5 AJs - straight on turn

"drawing to 3 clean 8 outs" means 3 players each have 8 out to make their hand best?

"runner runner stuff" - is this the same as backdoor draw?

"crushes MP2's range for calling you preflop." - no idea what this means

2) NL5 JJ - drawy flop

"stack off against SB/BU" - what is stack off?

If you don't understand judge's response or want to know something more you can ask your questions in the original thread and just check the button "Advice a judge to take another look at that thread".

Runner Runner straight/flush draw = backdoor straight/flush draw = you have 3 cards necesary for your straight or flush, and you need to catch a good card on the turn AND on the river. Ex: you have T8 :heart: flop is 9 :spade:3 :diamond:A :heart: You have a backdoor straight draw and a backdoor flush draw to the nuts. From what i can remember you make a backdoor flush draw about 5% of the time and a backdoor straight draw a little less, maybe 4%, depending on what type is it (if it's gapped, like 8TJ you have less, if it's 8TQ even less, etc...)

Stacking off= going all in

Crush a range = lol, see the english dictionary

Clean outs = outs that will certainly make you the best hand (nuts). For example if you have a straight draw on the turn you think you have 8 outs but if it's possible that another player has a flush draw you will have 6 clean outs (because of the 2 suited cards that complete that flush) and 2 partial outs (they may work as well, but someone could have made a flush).


radyan111, andreibalint, thank you for your answers.
