Dumb End ( poker )


In hold 'em, the low end of a straight, or a straight that can lose to a higher straight.
This is a risky hand to hold or draw to, because someone can easily end up with a higher straight.
If you have 5-6 in the hole, and the flop is 7-8-9, you have flopped the ignorant end of the straight,
and will lose to anyone starting with 10-J or 6-10. Also called idiot end.
