    I know you weren't asking what a set is, but you asked if Hero thought a Villain had a set here.

    By the terminology I described, it is impossible for any player to have a set on a paired board. DUCY
    (DUCY is a poker shorthand for "Do You See Why?")

    I'm only trying to help you feel more comfortable in using the most direct terminology to make your point. I was corrected in the same manner when I first joined FTR.

    I appreciate you taking the time to learn English. Consider this one more definition in a crazy language of loopholes.

    To answer your question, it says in OP that Hero was "one on one against just the one player".

    In poker, when only 2 people are involved in a hand, it's called "Heads Up".

    You are right. I just read it again, I think I just stuck to his three of a kind, and then forgot the flop LOL

    He wrote:

    I was one on one against just the one player and checked, only to have them bet me on the turn card so I folded.

    It's the them that confuses me here LOL
