Youngest Hand
Youngest hand is an obsolete term for the player immediately to the right of the dealer. In older games, it was the last player in the order.
The simple explanation
In old card games, players were named by their age order: the eldest hand was first, and the youngest hand was last. You may find the word in old poker books.
A closer look
The term is no longer used in modern poker. Today, the same seat is called the cutoff, the position just before the button. Understanding the old names is useful when reading classics about the game. The words 'eldest', 'younger' and 'youngest' described who had the right to act first or last.
A practical example
An old book says that the youngest hand has the advantage of acting last.
