I found that out the hard way :frown:

The only time 3 of a kind beats 3 pair is when you have 3 jacks and only one of them is one-eyed on the first Tuesday of every month following no more than a 1/2 moon in the current lunar cycle.

... but if the 3 pair is all even or odd pairings(assuming jacks-kings is 11-13) and of course aces are low then 3 pairs wins, assuming you are on the player's left and that person is not left-handed.

If neither of these can be determined, then the first person who shouts, "Mr. Son of a bitch, let's play some cards!" automatically takes the pot.

DEAL TWO, TURN FIVE UP. TEXAS HOLD'UM? SEVEN CARDS.

The best five count?

How about 5 half-pairs?

Or why big bodies of water are always near a shore! :roll:

2 pair beats 3 of a kind sometimes.

Just not in, you know, poker. :roll:

Sure, two pairs of aces will beat everything but a straight flush and royal flush.

err, I thought there was a distinction between 2 pairs and 4 of a kind...

ha ha, this thread is still going?

btw, have you recognized that whooshing sound going by overhead?

3 of a kind contains 2 pairs, and if you also had a pair of something else that would be 3 pair. aka full house. it beats 3 of a kind every time.

Drunk?

He's right. Say you had the following hand:

3 3 3 J J

The first two 3's make up 1 pair, three no.2 + three no.3 makes the second pair and J J makes the third pair.

(Most likely he's drunk though )

You missed the first 3 and third 3.

err, what? the body of water just gets larger and the shore moves inward.

3 pairs are the best hand in the game. I suggest to go all in when you see this hand.

3 of a kind IS 3 pairs... in Cribbage.
