Four‑street (or four to a straight) is holding four cards that could form a straight.
Explanation. This term means you’re “on four streets” from making a straight—holding four connected cards needing just one to complete it (e.g. 5‑6‑7‑8). The term highlights how many sequential ranks you’ve connected. It signals strong potential and often justifies speculative play. Players track four‑street hands to evaluate implied odds and drawing equity.
