 If you have in texas hold 'em and the flop shows

There are two overcards on the board - the which are higher in value than your or individually.

Similarly, if you have :Ac: :Kd: and the flop is :Td: you have 2 overcards.

If the flop is and you hold , you have made top pair because top means highest card on the board. I can't remember hearing the term overpair, but if I had to guess, I would say for the same flop, if you are holding , you have made an overpair, because no card on the board is higher than the queen - the word over denotes higher than the board.
