Trips (Three of a Kind)
三条
Trips is three-of-a-kind made using one community card and two hole cards. This is different from a set, which uses two hole cards and one community card. Trips are harder to disguise and often lose to full houses.
Example
With 88 on a board of 8-7-2, you have trips that can lose to a full house.
