Adjective
That are not paired, contain one card that an opponent also holds, and of which the second card is lower than the opponent's second pocket card.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A hand that is dominated has significant chances against winning. Example: Player A has A-K in the pocket. Player B has A-Q in the pocket. Player B's hand is dominated because it shares an Ace with Player A and the second card, a Queen, is lower than Player A's second card, a King. In order to win the hand, Player B would need to make a flush, make a straight, or hit a Queen without Player A hitting a King.
EXAMPLE: "I was dominated but sucked out on the river. It was incredible luck."
