reverse bad beat - just how big of a longshot did I hit?

[DrewOnTilt]

I'm curious as to how big of a suckout I pulled on this hand.

I held 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gifT /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Flop was 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

The suckout victim held 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif for a flopped eights full over sevens. I caught runner runner nines to win the pot with nines full /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I figure that to win this pot, I had to catch one of the following:
runner runner 9s
runner runner 10s
runner runner 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
runner runner 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Did I miss anything on what I needed to catch? And the odds of this happening were what - one in 1500 or so?

Not even close -- it's much lower.

You got all the possibilities tho. We note that since they're mutually exclusive, we can calculate the individual probabilities and add them together. 45 cards are left.

2 9's: (3/45)*(2/44)
2 10's: same
each str8 flush: (2/45)*(1/45)

2*(3/45)*(2/44) + 2*(2/45)*(1/45) = .008

About 1 in 125

You guys are both forgetting running sevens which would give the hero four sevens with a ten kicker.

You are a 109:1 dog on the flop.

YES! My odds keep improving with each post. Next time I am in this situation in my $5-$10 game and the pot is $1090 after the flop, I'll remember that /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Perfect perfect is 989:1 so 1500:1 is not possible.
