Drawing dead refers to the situation where even if you hit your outs
and made your
hand, you still lose.
Example
Your Hand
Opponent
The Flop
The Turn
The flop gave you a flush draw but the
turn gave your opponent a full house. You are therefore drawing dead because
even if you hit another heart on the river and make your
flush, you will still lose since his full house beats a flush.
Sun Tzu said: "To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."
