Hi guys. I have been playing Omaha for a while now. I'm still fairly new to it and keep the stakes low, but I just had a quick question about hand strength.
I know double suited wraps are a pretty strong starting hand, lets say 7c 8s 9c 10s for example... BUT...how strong is the same hand when single-gapped? I mean 7c 8s 9c Js.
I have had some success playing these hands quite aggressively, but was severely berated by a player on a $2 capped table today for calling his max pot with what I thought was a very strong draw.
I had 8 9 10 Q, flopped the 10 and J (leaving me any 7,8,9,Q or K for a straight) so called his max bet. He had 3 of a kind and never improved, while my straight filled up.
Am I overplaying these types of hands? Obv I would have folded if I was only on a pair/2 pair, or an open ended straight draw, but I felt I had a decent shot of drawing my hand. Additionally, the pot was capped at $2. Hardly mortgage money! Thanks.
