Discussion of set over set and likelihood of that with a friend got me to wondering about set over set over set, something I've never seen. Had some questions regarding it. All of them assume a 10 handed game, and that everyone stays in.
First, what is the probability of 3 or more people in a 10 handed game being dealt a different pocket pair?
Second, what is the probability of 3 people exactly in a 10 handed game being dealt a different pocket pair?
Third, what is the probability of exactly 3 people being dealt a different pocket pair, and then all of them hitting a set on the flop?
Fourth, what is the probability, given that 3 people are dealt a different pocket pair, that all of them hit a set on the flop?
Fifth, what is the probability of exactly 3 people being dealt a different pocket pair, and then all of them hitting a set by the river?
Sixth, what is the probability, given that 3 people are dealt a different pocket pair, that all of them hit a set by the river?
And lastly (just wondering how approximately how often this happens), what is the probability of five people each having a set by the river (i.e. at least five people are dealt a different pocket pair, and then five of them hit trips)?
Hope these questions are not too hard. I think the only one that could be really hard is the last one.
If no one has time to figure these out, then the ones I am especially interested in are 1, 3, 5, and 7.
Thanks.
