In poker, a wet board refers to a community card layout (flop, turn, or river) that offers many possible draws—like straights and flushes. Wet boards are dynamic and often lead to big action, because lots of hands can improve or already be strong.
A wet board usually contains connected cards, suited cards, or both. For example, a flop like 9♠ 10♠ J♥ is very wet—it has straight and flush possibilities, and can hit a wide range of hands.
Players need to be more cautious on wet boards, because opponents may have strong made hands or dangerous draws. It also creates bluffing opportunities, since the board tells a “story” that can be used to represent strong hands.
