What is suited trips?

• A. Three cards with different suits
• B. Same nominal and same suit
• C. Any three consecutive cards
• D. Two Aces and one King

Answer: (B)

Suited trips refer to a poker hand that consists of three cards of the same rank (nominal) and of the same suit. This means that if you have three cards, such as three 7s of hearts, they share both a rank and a suit, making them 'suited trips.' This hand is particularly strong in games like Texas Hold'em, as it provides a solid foundation for creating additional strong hands, such as flushes or full houses.

The other options do not accurately describe suited trips: having three cards with different suits would not meet the requirement of being 'suited'; any three consecutive cards refers to a straight, which is a different type of hand; and the specific combination of two Aces and one King does not constitute trips at all, as it involves different ranks rather than three of a kind.
