which poker hand is also called trips

In poker, the hand called "trips" refers to three of a kind where two of the matching cards are on the board (community cards) and one is in the player's hand. This differs from a "set," where two of the matching cards are in the player's hand and one is on the board. Trips is a common term used mainly in flop games like Texas Hold'em, and although trips and sets are both three of a kind, the distinction lies in how the hand is formed. Trips is often considered a strong hand but typically weaker than a set because it is easier for opponents to read since two of the cards are visible on the board. A typical example of trips would be if the board shows A♦ 3♦ A and a player holds one Ace in their hand, making trips (three of a kind Aces) with two Aces on the board and one in the hand.
