I've gotten four 4 of a kinds in 1758 hands. That does seem to be a bit high in so little hands. Does anyone how to compute the odds?

Last week I was 8 tabling SNGs and got quads 3-4 times within the span of 15 minutes. After that I haven't had time to play except once this week, and I got quads twice during a one hour session.

I was 8-tabling a week or two ago and had quads at the exact same time on two different tables. Haven't had quads since.

I got you all beat about a week ago I hit quads on the same table in back to back hands. I never got anymore action from the table after that either.

I assume you are playing a seven card game. If so, it should happen about a third of the time. The list below shows the probability of getting zero to 10 quads in 1,700 deals of a seven card hand:

0 5.73%
1 16.40%
2 23.45%
3 22.35%
4 15.96%
5 9.11%
6 4.33%
7 1.77%
8 0.63%
9 0.20%
10 0.06%

32.06% of the time you get four or more.

It may be prudent to point out that these odds are correct if you play any 2 cards to the river every hand... your actual odds will less (hopefully), but by no means is this unusual.

I got that beat.

Sit down at one table.
Hand #1: Quad 5s
Hand #2: Quad 4s
Hand #3: Nut Straight
Hand #5: Ace Full of 7
Hand #7: Nut Flush
Hand #11: Kings Full

Then I stopped counting and only played 10 miniutes. to get a total of 2 Quads, 3 FH, 2 Nut Flushes, 1 nut Straight. And I won 36 of the 45 hands I played.

But...

I was a 1/2 LIMIT 6 max table so I ended up $120 in 10 minutes.

I just started a new PT database. I have 510 hands, and 4 quads all played (if I folded and still would have hit quads it would still register on PT, however, this is not the case)

Playing live the other day, we had 3 straight flushes within 5 hands at my table.

What are the odds on that? (10 person table)
