trips to full houses
Scenario. I flop trips, or improve to trips by the river, what is the probability of some other player having a full house? Conditions: 9 player game with no pre- flop raising, even with AA. |

Do you have a pocket pair? [/ QUOTE ] no. quick note: Trips and Set have specific definitions. Trips: one card in your hand and two on the board. Set: Two cards in your hand and one on the board. I figure you already know this, and are just checking, no insult intended here. I am implying, however, that my opponent has a pocket pair. |

Re: trips to full houses
Yea, I was just checking.
Ok so you hold A7 and the board reads KQJ77. The probability that villian has either KK, QQ, or JJ is: 3*C(3,2)/C(45,2)=1/110 or .9% |

[ QUOTE ] Do you have a pocket pair? [/ QUOTE ] no. ... I am implying, however, that my opponent has a pocket pair. [/ QUOTE ] Why? What if you have 23 and your opponent has 34 on a board of 3347J edit: by my count, there are 9 ways your opponent could have 3x for a boat, and 9 ways (s)he could have a pocket pair for a boat, so there are 18 possible hands he could hold. Since you are looking at 7 of the 52 cards in the deck (your hand and the board), there are only 45 cards left to deal your opponent's hand with => 990 possible hands he could have. 18/990 = 2/110, or about 0.0181818 or 1.8% So, IF YOU ARE HEADS UP, the probability that your opponent has a full house when you have trips is 1.8% The probability one of 9 players have it can be approximated by 1-(972/990)^9, which is approximately 0.152 or 15.2% However, this over counts times when 2 or more opponents have boats, so you'd want to use inclusion-exclusion to get an exact answer. If I had to guess, though, I'd say around 14% if you assume that everyone goes to show down. A computer simulation would give a much better approximation, but I'm not feelin' it tonight.
