Draws
Combo Draw in PLO
A hand combining two or more draws (e.g., a flush draw plus a wrap), often favorite over one-pair hands all-in on the flop.
What it means at the table
A combo draw has more than one way to improve, such as a straight draw plus a flush draw or pair-plus-wrap-plus-backdoor equity.
Why it matters
In PLO, combo draws can have enough equity to pressure made hands because they are not relying on one clean runout.
Decision checkpoint
Ask this before money goes in
Table question
Which outs are clean, which are dirty, and how does my equity change when called?
Rule of thumb
Big equity is strongest when the draw has nut outs and redraws, not just many outs.
Table example
Q♠ J♠ T♦ 8♦ on 9♠ 7♦ 3♠ has straight routes and a spade flush draw, so one pair is under real pressure.
Leak to avoid
Counting the draw as strong without separating nut outs from flush-completing or low-end straight outs.
