What is a wrap?

[Julio88]

In poker, a wrap refers to a straight draw with 9 or more outs in certain variants of the game particularly Omaha. This means that the player has a hand with two or more cards that, when combined with the community cards, can potentially form a straight consisting of five consecutive cards. Wraps are an important concept in Omaha, as they can be very strong, especially when combined with other strong draws. It is important to note that in standard poker, the maximum number of straight outs is capped at 8, whereas in Omaha a wrap can have up to 20 outs

In a wrap scenario, a straight could be formed using the player's four hole cards and a number of community cards on the board. The player has numerous chances to complete the straight, which raises the likelihood that they will have a powerful hand.
