Overpair in poker
Definition
A pocket pair that is higher than every card on the board.
An overpair beats any single pair that can be made from the board, so it is strong on dry boards. It still loses to sets and, on coordinated boards, to straights and flushes.
Aces are always an overpair unless the board has an ace.
Example
Q♦Q♠ on a flop of 9♣6♥2♦ is an overpair.
