Re: Part X (LC)
Okay, I'll concede that it's common enough in poker term glossaries to be acceptable as two pair. It's either redundant or ambiguous though, depending on whether you can read the person's mind using it. If you're referring to 2 pair, there's no need to state which rank is higher whereas with a boat it makes a big difference to know which rank is full.
I would ban its use when referring to 2 pair if I could. I'd also kick people who called trips with a pair on the board a set in the shins, but they outnumber me by too many.
Rant over. This thread can die now.
