Definition needed-Trips
Ok a set is when your holding a pocket pair and hit the 3 of a kind. Is the term "Trips" a general term for a 3 of a kind or is it only if you make the 3oak useing one of your pocket cards and two cards on the board?

The following is in no way a definitive answer, or a right one by any means.
My general understanding is that set = pp + one on flop while trips is paired board with one in the hole. I do get upset when people reference the two incorrectly. In non-hold 'em games though the two can both be used for three of a kind. |

I agree. But in Harrington on Hold Em he calls sets trips and vice versa sometimes. I think Harrington just effed up or something. Like I've mentioned before he doesn't even fold the bill of his ball cap so he's gotta be a little "off" sometimes.

I agree with the responses so far.
But I will add that if someone called a set trips, it doesn't bother me NEARLY as much as when someone calls trips a set. In other words, even though I believe them to be two different things, I am ok with people who believe that all sets are trips, but not all trips are sets. These people are saying trips, but they really mean........ "three of a kind." Set AND trips are both "three of a kind." I guess what it comes down to is that I am ok with people using the terms "three of a kind" and "trips" interchangeably (even though I do not). But it drives me crazy when people add "set" to that mix, because a set is special - 2 in your hand and one on the board. |
