What is a Wrap in Poker?

In poker, a 'Wrap' is a term used in Omaha poker to describe a straight draw where there are 13 or more cards that can complete the straight. It is a more powerful version of an open-ended straight draw or a double gutshot.

Understanding Wraps

In Omaha poker, players receive four hole cards instead of two, which leads to a larger number of potential combinations and makes wraps possible. A wrap can have up to 20 outs, which makes it a very strong drawing hand.

Playing a Wrap

When you have a wrap, you have a strong drawing hand that could potentially become a straight. However, even though a wrap is a strong draw, it's important to remember that it's still just a draw and not a made hand.

Example of "Wrap"

For instance, if a player holds A-K-Q-J and the board shows 10-9-2, the player has a wrap. Any 7, 8, Jack, Queen, or King will complete the straight.

"He was hoping to hit one of his many outs on the turn to complete his wrap."
"Despite having a wrap, she decided to fold due to the large bet from her opponent."
"With four cards to a straight, he had a wrap and several ways to complete his hand."
