Omaha straights and draws

I was playing Omaha rebuy tournament at casino Yesterday.

Once a guy got a nice hand: 5678. He played it like a maniac - and got busted.

I wanted to calculate some match in order to find out, if aggressive play preflop is justified with it.

The math showed, that:

A) Straight is flopped in 6.2% flops. Most of them are nut straights (about 75%).

B) An openended straight draw is floppped surprisingly often: 67%. And, straight is completed by the river one in four cases.

Thus, you get straight with this power hand 30% by the river.

How to play this hand. Maniac style is not the right one. In position would build the pot by a small raise and then see, what happens.


So, pretty good figures.
