Poker Hand Trouble Plz Help!?

Question

A friend and I were playing poker when a hand came up of her have 3 pairs and me having three of a kind. The question we have is who would the winner be?

Answer 1

three of a kind since in poker you only could use 5 cards to determine the outcome so in reality she only had 2 pair which is less than 3 of kind

Answer 2

3 pairs....are you kidding me?

Answer 3

there is no 3 pair in poker.  that wouldn't matter because its whoever has the best 5 card hand.  3 pairs would have 6 cards so she tecnically has 2 pair. You had 3 of a kind.  3 of a Kind > 2 pair.

Answer 4

there is no 3 pair in poker

poker is the best 5 card hand.

so 3 of a kind (trips or a set) wins
