[Don't Draw Against A Made Hand]

i'm going to be kind here.a made hand basically means one with showdown value. what has showdown value can vary to a ridiculous degree depending on who/what you are playing. a made hand in heads up no-limit is completely different from a made hand in full ring pot limit omaha. you could both be both right and wrong depending on the context of the game.stop taking poker advice from a 10 year old movie.

Thanks for the response. I'm not trying to figure out the poker strategy or anything like that. I'm just trying to resolve a dispute I have with my friend. It's silly but he's a bit of an egomaniac and so when he's wrong he needs to know it.I like your answer. It makes sense.

"Don't draw against a made hand"I've heard this expression used. It was used in the movie Rounders when Mike folds his top two pairs cause he knows Teddy has 2 4 for the straight. I have a disagreement on what a "made hand" in this expression means with a friend of mine.Now we all know what a made hand is - any hand that does not need to improve to win. But within the context of this expression can it really mean just that? In that case it would mean you should never draw since you will almost always be drawing to a "made hand" in this sense.My friend says a "made hand" in this expression means top pair. I say it means a 5 card hand.What do you guys think?--Bob.
