Full House AKA Tight
I wonder how many other people out there grew up knowing a "full house" as a "tight"?
I know I did, and I still use the term almost exclusively. Is this a localized thing, or Canadian or what?

never heard of a full house referred to that way...
hork.
Here is an example- http://www.unitedpokerforum.com/archive/2003-10/07/31789/
you have to read down.
In that vain, I'm going to refer my full houses from now on as
ALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARM!

P.S. Glad to see we may have found a new person who possibly posts on this forum more than me.
A "gutshot draw" refers ONLY to an inside straight draw to the middle (third) card of the straight -- not to a draw to the second or fourth card of the draw. Those are just "inside draws".
Mike Sexton said something in his commentary on the WPT in Aruba that made me think this.
What do you think?
Aiyah!

I've never heard of distinguishing between a gutshot, belly buster, or inside straight. Can you even think of any situation in poker where this would matter? Have you ever had a poker story interrupted by something like, "Hold on. Did he have a draw to the *middle* straight card, or did he have 3 cards on top and one on the bottom of the card he needed?"
The only distinction I do like to make is that I would *not* call gutshot a "straight draw". A straight draw is an 8 out draw.

There may be "old" lingo that is
not used now the way it was 50 years ago, is what I was aiming at.
Kind of makes sense to me that a "gutshot" draw is aiming right at the middle card. As opposed to "inside straight draw" which I've heard older players say instead of what I'd have called a gutshot.
Anyway, as you say, it matters not a whit....
Wow, that was a "GUTSHOT"! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
