Correct play
Pull it BackAn inside straight draw (a gap in the middle) doesn't qualify — pull it back.
Second-decision rule: let the second bet ride with a paying hand (a pair of Tens or better), any four to a flush, or four to an open-ended straight with at least one high card (Ten or higher). Everything else pulls back.
