Full explanation
Bottom pair is pairing the lowest card on the board with one of your hole cards.
Explanation. You make bottom pair when your hole card matches the lowest card on the flop—like holding 7‑3 and the board is 7‑10‑2. It’s usually a weak made hand with limited potential to improve and easily dominated. Recognizing bottom pair is important to avoid overcommitting with marginal holdings.
