Seeing eye straight

Memory can play funny tricks on you. My most memorable hand of last night's session was one I lost. I thought I could recall most of the details, but when I checked the hand history, I discovered I was wrong about almost all of them. I'd decided to call the hand the seeing eye straight, since I was beaten by an opponent who hit a straight on the river, when I'd been way ahead on the turn. Here are all the details I got wrong:

1. I thought I'd hit the felt on the hand; actually, although I lost 625 in chips on the hand, I ended up winning that tournament
2. I thought I'd had two pair, tens and nines; actually, I'd only had a pair of nines
3. I thought my opponent had hit a gutshot straight draw; actually, he'd only hit an open-ended straight draw

The upshot is that the title of this post is a misnomer. Only a gutshot straight draw deserves to be called a seeing eye straight :-)
