	Playing Straight Draws
		When you flop a straight draw it's either going to be an open-ended using both your hole cards, open-ended using one of your hole cards or a gut-shot straight draw.
		This straight draw should be played like a gut-shot straight draw (4 outs) since you would only feel comfortable with the hand in case a Three hits.
		The gut-shot straight draw to the nuts (4 outs), two overcards (6 outs, but beware of a possible straight in case a Q hits) and back door flush potential (1 out).

	Playing It Straight \| PopMatters Television Review
		In FOX's Playing It Straight, she is supposed to select a potential suitor from a field of 14 men assembled at Nevada's Sizzling Saddle Ranch, a setting where they might show off their manly bravado.
		If a straight man is the last one standing, he and Jackie split the million and, theoretically, start a life of love and happiness.
		While it's predictable that straight men would voice such homophobia, consider that some of the speakers might be gay, lying in their interviews and to other contestants about their unwillingness to live with homosexuals.

		Rebecca, the woman at the centre of this debacle, was heading the same way, professing last week that she was really, really hoping to find the man of her dreams during the making of the series.
		Her gig is to whittle the group down to one: if he's straight, they share the $200,000 purse and perhaps waltz off into the sunset; if he's gay, the guy gets the dough.
		All Playing it Straight does is illustrate that no matter what one's sexual orientation, people are prepared to play games and manipulate solely for the sake of a quick dollar and the fleeting chance of television fame.

	I Love Reality - Shows - Playing It Straight
		The funny thing is I was thinking that this show and Forever Eden might both be helped with the recent announcement that Forever Eden was moving to Fridays and would follow Playing It Straight.
		I never saw the exact number of straight guys vs gay guys given - since there was 14 men to start I assumed that there was 7 straight and 7 gay guys - but I never saw that verified.
		So far Jackie has eliminated 3 straight men and one gay man. We have no clue if the ratio of straight to gay men is 50/50 or what (I was beginning to suspect there might be no gay mean and only a bunch of hetero guys with effiminate qualities).

		Byrne, one of the co-executive producers on Fox’s new reality show “Playing It Straight,” is using her lack of gaydar to her advantage.
		She also says that on “Straight,” all contestants were told there would be a twist before being cast on the show — and all were told what the twist was before filming started.
		“It was harder for the straight guys because a lot of them are metrosexuals, and they’re trying to prove they’re straight,” she says.

	AfterEllen.com - Playing Straight: the Final Frontier for Lesbian Actresses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Playing gay, too, is not the career-killer it once was, and actresses are no longer typecast based on their on-screen romances.
		But some things still haven't changed, including the fact that in an industry that is increasingly obsessed with image, only women who live very straight lives off-screen can play straight romantic roles on-screen.
		Because of this, the final frontier of lesbian acceptance in the movie industry will arguably be conquered not when an out lesbian actress can play a leading lesbian role, but when she can play a leading straight, romantic role in a blockbuster film.

		On the new show Playing It Straight, a seemingly sweet, wholesome, and lovely all-American girl is seeking true love - again on national TV, which every red-blooded American knows is EXACTLY the right place to find lasting commitment.
		While it was oddly interesting to see straight men try to "pass" as gay men, the reverse seems just a tad homophobic.
		That being said, Playing It Straight is still strangely engrossing.
