English term or phrase: underdog
It’s very unlikely that you’ll win with a single pair, so you’re playing for a straight or a flush.
You’re a large underdog anytime you play hands like these, but they can cash in big.
Thank you in advance!

被看淡(的一方)


Explanation:
underdog不是指处于劣势的一方,真正的意思是指在比赛之前从外表或过往纪录看来比较低胜算的一方。至于在正式比赛的时候,underdog的表现有可能会让大家大跌眼镜,尽占优势,大胜对手。但当然也有可能如大家所料,处于劣势。

总而言之,underdog所形用的,是不是在比赛中的表现,而是在比赛之前大家对该选手的看法。

需要更正:应该是在“未分胜负”之前被看淡的一方,可以是在比赛之前,也可以是在比赛之中,胜负未定之前。
