Inside Straight Draw

Full explanation

Another term for gutshot: needing one specific middle rank to complete a straight.

Explanation. This descriptive name shows you’re inside the straight path, missing a single middle card—e.g. holding 9‑10 on J‑8‑4 flop needs a seven. It’s weaker than open-ended draws but useful in select spots when odds align. Beginners should recognize inside draw risk vs reward before committing chips.
