Wait a minute ...
The pot was short-handed on the flop, and I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW that my bottom set won the high.
(But alas, my 10th nuts / bait / butts / pits did not win the low.)

Do we have a name for the \"anti-nuts\" ?
OK, a little light-hearted question for all you experts this morning.
I had 3368 (big blind) and the flop came 347. I realized that not only did I NOT have the nut low, I had the very worst low...
