Do you think its normal to get trips a lot over 110 hands? I can play a week without pairing my door card. Congratulations. You won a lot in one night. Quit your day job and become a poker pro.

No need to get all smarmy. I'm going to pair my door card on 4th street around 5% of the time (if it's already paired, i.e., it's a 2-outer) and 7% of the time if it's not. So around 1/15 or 1/20 of the hands I play -- and that's just 4th street. Not exactly a super-rare occurrence.

Was just surprised that almost nobody at the 5/10 game seems to care when it happens, and just calls me down all the way. It's generalizable to other instances -- cases where it's obvious they're beaten but they'll chase those 4-outers all the way to the river.

By the way, I multitable 10/20 and 20/40 shorthanded limit HE, and could quit my day job and become a poker pro anytime I wanted. So nyeah.
