What is a wet board?

I've seen the term a couple of times in the last week. Someone used the term wet board, and another wrote that that a flop was wet.

Dry = safe.

I feel like I'm taking a standardized test, haha. So wet = dangerous!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Probably the same meaning as 'action' flop

Not precisely. A wet board is one that makes a number of likely draws, or has cards on it which are more likely to have hit someone. A dry board is unlikely to have hit anyone either in terms of made hands or draws.

With a PFR, A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is pretty wet.

When you PFR with AK, and the flop is K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] , this board is very dry. Someone calling your flop bet will NOT be on a draw.

lol, in my local 4/8 game, that's not necessarily the case. T9 will be there, A4d will call, etc etc. There may not be a QUALITY draw out there (open ender, etc), but it's amazing what people will call with. Just because it's a "dry" board doesn't mean some folks won't try to drill a well anyway...and sometimes hit water deep.

Not a complaint by any means...it's an awesomely soft game. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A4dd not a quality draw?! Running running nut flush is about as good as it gets.

there is no such word relating to poker. People are using dry board=no draws. So obviously wet board=lots of draws. It's the same thing with people calling 9/10 handed games "long handed" because 6 max games are obviously "short handed"
