A Gutshot Straight Draw, also known as an Inside Straight Draw, refers to a straight draw where the player only needs one middle card to complete the hand, and therefore usually has only 4 outs. For example, holding 8♠9♦, with a board of 6♣10♥K♠, the player needs to draw a 7 to complete the straight.

While Gutshot has a lower chance of completion than Open-Ended Straight Draw, it can still be a high-EV option when you have good Pot Odds, Implied Odds, or Fold Equity.

An Open-Ended Straight Draw (OESD) means the player currently has four consecutive cards, and both ends of the straight can complete the draw, thus typically having 8 outs. For example, holding 8♠9♦, with a board of 6♣7♥K♠, drawing a 5 or 10 would complete the straight.

With its numerous outs, OESD is one of the strongest straight draws in Texas Hold'em, and it is often paired with Pot Odds, Implied Odds, Fold Equity, and Semi Bluff to create high EV.
