Poker/Three of a kind2

Readers note: This page uses the letters c, d, h, and s to indicate card suits. This page might be easier to read if your browser can display card suit symbols.

A poker hand such as 2d 2s 2h Ks 6s, which contains three cards of the same rank, plus two unmatched cards. Also called "trips", or "a set". Ranks above /Two pair and below a /Straight.

Between two such hands, the hand with the higher ranking matched set wins. If both have the same matched set (this is possible only in games with /Wild cards or /Community cards), then the /Kickers are compared to break the tie.

Examples:

• 8s 8h 8d 5s 3c ("three eights" or "trip eights") defeats 5c 5h 5d Qd 10c ("three fives")
• 8s 8h 8d Ac 2d ("three eights, ace kicker") defeats 8s 8h 8d 5s 3c ("three eights, five, three")
