one of those things you think about when tipsy....
...You know how if you have a pair, and flop 3-of-a-kind, it's called a set.....But if you have two different cards and flop three-of-a-kind it's called trips.......
Well, how come having a pair and flopping 4-of-a-kind is called quads AND having different cards and floppping 4-of-a-kind is ALSO called quads.....?! Shouldn't there be a different name for flopping quads without a pocket-pair, like there is for 3-of-a-kind ? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: one of those things you think about when tipsy....
I think it's really because there's only one possible way to have quads. The reason 3 of a kind has different names is because there are two different ways to have 3 of a kind. You can either have trips(1 from your hand, 2 from the board) or you can have a set(2 in your hand, 1 from the board and much more powerful, since no one else can possibly have the same 3 of a kind)

Re: one of those things you think about when tipsy....
Not everyone differentiates between a "set" and trips. I do because the play differently. I personnally think having a pair in your hand is much better and plays stronger than having only one in your hand. With only one in you hand you can easily have kicker trouble. All I really know is that I lose more money when I have trips than when I have a set. Quads is Quads, I have never lost with them and when I do someday I can only hope I have all my money in the pot and that i am playing at a bad beat table.

Re: one of those things you think about when tipsy....
There are good reasons to have different names to refer to a set or trips (they are different types of hands). There is no reason to have a different name for quads, because it never matters how you have quads. It most definitely makes a difference how you have 3 of a kind.
