There are only a few draws, the flop have more equity than a made hand. Combo draws are so powerful that sometimes they are even favorites. In a combo draw means a draw of more than 12 outs. These Draws are so strong that they should be sharp allude to almost every flop.
Examples of Combo Draws:
- A pair of open-ended straight draw (13 outs against an over-pair)
- A pair with flush draw (14 outs)
- Gutshot straight flush draw (12 outs)
- Straight draw and flush draw (15 outs)
- The rare and precious open-ended straight flush draw
In each of these examples helps us more than a quarter of the deck to a better hand than an over-pair. Even the worst combo draws - the gutshot straight flush draw - against the over-pair has a 50-50 chance! For us, this means that we are behind even against monsters only slightly. Against average hands, we are clearly a favorite. Such hands must be played hard. For a good player it means a lot of money.
