Default Re: the odds of flopping a set

Im not even gonna try to figure the math on that, but i do have another question. And this is what brought me to my original question. Lets say your playing some weird game where you got dealt 13 cards. and lets say you got dealt all 13 diamonds so that the remaining 39 cards consist of clubs, hearts, and spades. now lets say you ask the question what are the odds that the flop will contain a club. the math would be 13 clubs outta of 39 cards is 13 outs 3 times. that equals 39. so 39/39 is 1 which means their is a hundred percent chance the flop will have a club. but obviously there are many flops that wouldnt contain a club, so where did the math break down there. i have no clue so it wont bother me if no one else has an answer to this, but id appreciate an answer.
