Re: SSHE: Ed Miller\'s Distinction
[ QUOTE ]
It's a useful distinction, but I suspect that it is going the way of who/whom and less/fewer. [/ QUOTE ] Quite the opposite as I see it. I think ten years ago most people would have said the two terms mean the same thing. It is only recently that a lot of people started insisting that they are different and mutually exclusive.

Re: SSHE: Ed Miller\'s Distinction
[ QUOTE ]
So for those of you who make the distinction b/w a "set" and "trip", what is a "set" when playing 7-card stud, and what is "trips" in stud? Or do you just never use these terms? [/ QUOTE ] Trips - a pair is visible. Set - the opponents don't know two of your three cards are in the hole in scenarios when you are not rolled up (I consider rolled up on 3rd street, if you make a set on 6th for example the villains would never know).

[/ QUOTE ] I didn't know the term ten years ago, so I'll bow to your experience. My opinion was based on the usage that I hear amongst 'unstudied' poker players, and the fact that I often hear TV commentators use the terms interchangeably.

Re: SSHE: Ed Miller\'s Distinction: HOH3
[ QUOTE ]
Sets are not trips, and trips are not sets. Many people don't make the distinction. Similarly, the plural of pro isn't pro's, although many write it that way. [/ QUOTE ] I have just finished reading Harrington on Hold'em III. I am afraid Dan Harrington nor Bill Robertie make the distinction that Ed Miller and others have drawn. On page 195, Dan and Bill use the word 'trips' to describe what Ed calls a 'set' and on page 180 they use the word 'set' to describe what Ed calls a 'set' as well. Dan and Bill use the word 'trips' to describe what Ed calls 'trips' on page 320 though I could not find use the word 'set' to describe what Ed calls 'trips'. This is terminological confusion and 2+2 should have a set policy on this issue!
