Three pair[edit]
One variant of poker, often called "Canadian Poker", allows three pair as a valid hand. The rest of the game is identical to Texas Hold'em. In this variant, three pair beats two pair, but not a full house. This is an exception to the stated "always five cards in a hand" rule. There are probably other variants with similar rules. 12.106.111.10 21:00, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can't this rule be applied to any type of poker variant with community cards? That would just make sense to me. I've been trying for a couple days to stress that a three pair hand is a legitimate poker hand, but my brother and parents keep saying it isn't. This just in: Meh is a real word now, too! Gotta love The Simpsons... -Mattokunhayashi (talk) 16:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Second note: Three-of-a-kind, straight and flush all come between two pair and full house... What exactly does a 'three pair' go between; two pair and three-of-a-kind, three-of-a-kind and straight, straight and flush, or flush and full house? Your comment above was really ambiguous... -Mattokunhayashi (talk) 16:42, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- In those kind of games, it is also possible to have 2 sets of 3 of a kind. 162.255.123.42 (talk) 06:11, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
No Flushes in Aces-Low?[edit]
I was puzzled by the statement in the section on 'Flushes' that "Under ace-to-five low rules, flushes are not possible". Whether an ace counts as high or low makes no difference to it's suit, e.g. hearts or spades, so why doesn't a hand like 10, 7, 6, 3 and Ace of hearts count as a flush? On looking at the article on ace-to-five low games, it seems that there is just a separate rule in those games that flushes don't score with any particular value. So it is not that a flush is not possible , just that it doesn't count as higher than any other hand. If this is correct someone might try and clarify this section.2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:492A:659B:43BD:CE61 (talk) 15:18, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
