Cripple

Full explanation

Cripple means your hand or draw is severely weakened or flawed.

Explanation. Used when your drawing chances or hand strength are compromised. For example, you flop a set but board is paired, making full-house possibilities shared—your value is “crippled.” It signals caution: your perceived strength may be less than believed. Recognizing crippling helps avoid overbetting in tricky spots.
