A poker hand such as 3♣ 3♠ 3♦ 6♣ 6♥, which contains three matching cards of one rank, plus two matching cards of another rank. Also called a "boat" or "tight". Ranks above a /Flush and below /Four of a kind.
Between two full houses, the one with the higher ranking set of trips wins. If two have the same set of trips (possible in /Wild card and /Community card games), the hand with the higher pair wins.
Examples:
- 10♠ 10♥ 10♦ 4♠ 4♦ ("tens full") defeats 9♥ 9♣ 9♠ A♥ A♣ ("nines full")
- K♠ K♣ K♥ 3♦ 3♠ defeats 10♠ 10♥ 10♦ 4♠ 4♦
- Q♥ Q♦ Q♣ 8♥ 8♣ ("queens full of eights" or "full house, queens over eights") defeats Q♥ Q♦ Q♣ 5♠ 5♥ ("queens full of fives")
Some poker games are played with a deck that has been stripped of certain cards, usually low-ranking ones. For example, the Australian game of /Manila uses a 32-card deck in which all cards below the rank of 7 are removed, and /Mexican stud removes the 8s, 9s, and 10s. In both of these games, a flush ranks above a full house, because having fewer cards of each suit available makes flushes rarer.
