Buried pair (poker)

Also: pair in the hole

Poker term

In Stud, both cards of your pair are in the hole.

Opponents can't see it, so even if you make trips on 4th or later, it's hard to read. Example: (K♠K♥) 4♣. A low door card with the pair hidden is the strongest form of the same pair. With one card of the pair face up, it's a split pair.
