Redraw

Holding a made hand that also has a draw to a better one. It is the concept that makes Omaha a different game from hold'em: getting chips in with the current best hand matters far less than getting them in with the best hand plus the best redraw.

Example. He had the nut straight with a redraw to the nut flush, which is why he was happy to get it all in.

A set on a two-tone board with the nut flush draw alongside it is the textbook redraw — ahead now and still winning when the board changes. The opposite, a made hand with no redraw, is exactly what gets stacked in pot-limit Omaha: the nut straight on a paired or suited board is fragile precisely because every improvement belongs to somebody else.

In hold'em redraws exist but are rarer, because two hole cards simply cannot cover as much of the board.

Frequently asked questions

Why are redraws so important in Omaha?

With four hole cards, the current nuts change constantly, so a hand that can improve is worth far more than one that cannot.
