Trips and sets

[fransfrans]

I would like to know this about Texas hold'em poker

suppose all five community cards are out and there is a pair of aces among
them. Now player A holds an aces among his hole cards thus making a triple.
Suppose there is also a 3 among those five community cards on the table and player
B has a pair of threes in his hole cards thus make another triple (A set).

Who wins here a SET of 333 or a TRIPLE of aces? Is a SET over a TRIPLE or what?

Thanks a lot in advance for your replies.

Examples:
Okay first of all when you have a pocket pair say 33 and there is a 3 on the board, that's a set.

When there are say two Ace's on board and you have an Ace, that's called trips.

__________________________________________________ _______

Now the person with 33 has a fullhouse which beats three of a kind or 'trips'.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Stupid me, yes now I can clearly see, thanks to your reply, that in such cases it will be a full and hence beat a triple.

wouldnt the FH 3s over aces win over trips? better get a hand ranking chart /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

btw.. a set is when you have 2 in the mitt, one on the board. trips is 2 on the board, one in your hand.
