Wraps...
I am not a beginner, but I don't know where else to put this question...
I am familiar with the concept of 'wraps' from Omaha, but recently I hear no-limit players use the term all the time. I thought wraps were a concept unique to Omaha because of the different options of playing your hole cards. Are no-limit players misusing the term? Or is the a no-limit definition that I am unaware of?

Re: Wraps...
I've never heard the term used for NLHE.
Perhaps they are referring to combo-draws? A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on a board of Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is HUGE, just like a good wrap in Omaha, as it gives you so many ways to win (straight outs, overcard outs, and flush outs). Just a guess though.

The max straight outs you could ever have in HE is 8, making it just an open-ender or double-belly. In HE, you can catch cards to give you higher straights but since you've already got the straight, it's not a wrap draw.
