Dry board

Dry board in poker is a board that has a little or no opportunities to receive some sort of draw hands. As a rule, this is unconnected or rainbow board (when all cards are not suited). The less draws are available on a board, the more dry it is considered.

An example of a dry board in poker: - on such a flop you can’t get straight or flush draw, and it’s very hard to connect to. Such a flop practically does not give you any chance to improve your hand and is optimal for you only in a case, when you already have a good hand.

Example: “There was a dry board on a flop, but I have hit a set, and was feeling myself more confident than my opponents”.

The opposite of a dry board is a wet board.
