"Uh yes it is. The differentiation between a "set" and "trips" is a fundamental of hold'em. If you cannot grasp this concept, then you are an idiot."

i agree completely. i hate it when people call one the other. but it's a nice indication that they are self taught players and not sophisticated/educated correctly. i think that's what we're all learning about "the top players", watching the way they play and carry on. very unimpressive play.
