Full house

A full house is a hand where a player has 3 of one card and 2 of another. This can come in many forms. It sounds confusing but it's a strong hand. It's better than a flush but gets beaten by a straight flush.

e.g "John had 7-9 in his hand. The board was 6-7-9-9-King, which meant John's hand consisted on three 9s and two 7s. This gave John a full house."
"Sue had pocket 6s. The flop was King, King, 6. With three 6s and two Kings, she flopped a full house."
