Dominated Hand - A hand that is similar, but weaker than another hand.
The poker term "dominated hand" is usually used to describe a hand where a player holds one common card with
another player and the other player has a better
kicker. An example of a dominated hand
would be AK vs AQ. In this case, both players hold the powerful ace, but one player has a king kicker and the other player
has a queen kicker. Against AK, AQ is dominated which makes the hand less likely to win than QJ would be.
Another example of a dominated hand is when one player has a higher
pocket pair than another. In this
case AA would dominate KK or QQ.
As stated previously, the most common poker use for the term dominated is when a player holds one common card, but it
can (and has) been used in any case where one hand is a considerable favorite over another.
