To be snapped off means losing despite a strong hand when opponent calls quickly.

Full explanation

To be snapped off means losing despite a strong hand when opponent calls quickly.

Explanation. If you’re value-betting thin and opponent snap-calls with exactly the right hand and leaves you with second-best holdings, you’ve been snapped off. It’s often due to misjudged board texture or opponent belief. Recognizing snapped-off spots sharpens value sizing decisions.
