The Correct Answer
The term "over" means two pair. The term "full" means a full house.
In your example, "Aces over Deuces" means two-pair, aces and deuces. The reason is because someone else may also have two pair which contain the other pair of aces. Aces over sixes beat aces over deuces. Therefore, the second pair becomes critical in deciding who wins the hand.
The term "Aces full" means a full house containing 3 aces. It doesn't matter what the pair is since no one else can have a full house containing 3 aces. Some players state: "Aces full of fives" meaning a full house containing 3 aces and 2 fives. But this is completely unnecessary.
