Default Re: Flopping Quads in Holdem

[ QUOTE ]

Intuatively it seems obvious that since Hold'em is a community cards game, quads will be beaten more often in Stud. In other words, when you make quads in Hold'em you have significantly reduced the chances of someone making a better hand by tieing up two (or three) of the five board cards.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but this is true if neglecting the scenario when the quads are on the board and you're out kicked which will happen (relativley) often in hold'em. Hence the reason bad beat jackpots require both hole cards to be used.
