Default Re: 3 Flopped Sets...

Hi C--

The probability of 3 players being dealt a pair is about (.0588^3)*C(10,3)=14.66%.

I must be misunderstanding this... 14 out of every 100 hold'em hands will include 3 pairs? That sounds high. Then assuming that 3 pairs are dealt, for each flop card to match one of the pairs sounds a lot less likely than 4400:1. But of course I haven't taken the time to try and figure this out, so I thank you for doing so [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
