https://www.ploquickpro.com/quickfact-9-know-wraps-flop-straight/ In Hold'em, an open-ended or a double gut-shot is a legitimate draw, but in PLO naked open-enders don't have very much value unless you have some other type of secondary equity to supplement it. One reason they're devalued in PLO is because there are so many straight draws that crush a naked open-ender. If you find yourself getting stacks in with only eight outs, it's likely someone has your draw freerolled, or holds a made hand that crushes your draw. Highly connected hands also add smoothness, because it's easy to pick up equity on later streets, and the bigger straight draws (or wraps) do very well against sets. In addition, straight draws are more deceptive than flush draws, thereby increasing the chance you'll get paid off if you improve. Additionally, the more connected your hand is, the more likely it is that when you flop two pair, you'll have a straight-draw to go with it. This is generally a pretty strong hand, especially when you flop top two pair with a nut open-ended, like KQJT on JT3r. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5l8W3yKrKQ KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING: Website: https://www.ploquickpro.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TeamQuickPro Twitter: https://twitter.com/PLOQuickPro Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/104806838696412174116/ Pot Limit Omaha Strategy + Winning PLO Strategy Guide
