Yes, 3-bet and bet the river if he calls and checks.

(by Stellar)What's a "split pair" hand?

[/ QUOTE ]
There are a few Stud poker terms that have been adopted by Hold'em players recently. I'm old school (30 years old), so some of these terms were confusing to me when I first heard them used in Hold'em.

Split Pair - In 7 Stud, you are dealt 2 hole cards and one board card to start. If your hole cards aren't a pocket pair, but the board card matches one of them, you have a split pair.

Wired Pair - Same exact thing as above only completely different. It's a pocket pair when the board card doesn't match. If the board card matches (making trips), it's called being rolled up.

Complete - This one threw me for a loop in Hold'em. In 7 Stud, there is a forced bring-in (usually the lowest board card). In 10/20, the bring-in is $3 or $10. If the opener brings it in for $3, the players left to act have an option of folding, calling, or completing to $10. In Stud, complete means to raise. In Hold'em, complete (from the SB) means to call.

Made Hand - Another old school classic. Made hand always meant a 5-card "pat" hand (i.e. straight or better). I've heard it used a lot in Hold'em to describe one pair and two pair hands. Makes no sense to me.

Street - This is one I need help with. In Stud, the street after the deal is called "3rd Street". Then you have 4th, 5th, 6th, and the river is called "7th Street". Does anyone know what the street names are in Hold'em? Please don't say flop, turn and river. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Surf, I like your referrence to KQ with a Q on board as a "split pair". Hopefully, this will catch on. It would really simplify hand descriptions.
