Double guttered

The most memorable hand of last night's session was the one which took me to the rail in the first tournament I entered. Funnily enough, I don't remember my holding, but do remember two key things:

1. I was a big favorite after the turn
2. my opponent hit a double gutter

Let me check the archives for the details ... Here they are:

my holding: As 7d
my opponent's holding: 3d 5h
the flop: Kc 4s Ad
the turn: 7s
after the turn, I was an 81.82% favorite to win
the river: 2s

Terminology: "double gutter" is shorthand for double gutshot straight draw. A gutshot straight draw is four cards to a straight which are not all in a row. My opponent had 8 outs on the turn - four deuces, to hit the A 3 4 5 gutshot gutter, and four sixes, to hit the 3 4 5 7 gutter.

In related news, my blue distance has hit a new all-time high, breaking through the 7 million dollar barrier.
