Poker Runner Runner Definition

Runner-runner refers to a draw that required two cards to hit, not just one. Classics are runner-runner flushes and straights that cause the losing player to go on uber-tilt and proceed to play badly and lose a lot of money. They also often result in a stream of juicy abuse being directed at the lucky player who hit their runner-runner. Also known as backdoor, runner-runner means making a hand by hitting the needed cards on both the turn and river. For example, if you hold 6 ♥ 5 ♥ and the board reads A ♥ K♣ ♠, you would need hearts to come on both the turn and river (running hearts) to hit a runner-runner flush.

When it takes two perfect cards on both the turn and the river to covert an average or weak hand after the flop to a strong one, this should normally qualify as a 'long shot'. Also, 'strong' hands are considered here to be straights and better. These are often referred to as 'backdoor' hands such as a backdoor straight or flush etc.

After the flop, there are always 47 unseen cards. These will make a total of 1081 possible two card combinations that are used to make these probability comparisons.
