Default Re: Odds question.

Assuming you get a pair in holdem about 1 in 17 hands. Then the probability of quads (before hand) on the river is (1/17)*(1/122.5) = 1/ 2082.5 = 2 in 4165.

thank you very much - this is the one i wanted

williamhill (a uk internet poker site) is offering a "prize" of $50 for quads using a pair in your hand, on monday only

i didn't think this was generous by any stretch of the imagination, even though i suppose i can't really complain about any sort of freebie

but in fact, i've just seen it is worse than i thought - it has to be quads A K Q or J! what are the odds on you getting one of those (before hand)?
