Default Re: Doyle Brunson is wrong about straights and free cards

It's more probable that if the board contains an ace , then your opponent can hit a straight by the turn . This should be obvious for the simple reason that we could have an ace-high straight or an ace-low straight . No other card has this flexibility that the ace has .

So if the flop comes k-7-2 , then there is absolutely no way for your opponent to hit a straight by the turn .

If the flop comes A-7-2 , then it's possible for your opponent to hit a straight if he were holding 3-4 , 3-5 or 4-5 .
