Default Re: An Update.

On any individual hand, a player has 13 * C(48,3)/C(52,7) odds of getting quads, I believe, or about .17%. So if everyone has this same opportunity, there's a roughly 1.7% chance that a 10 person table will have quads on any given hand. So you could expect this roughly every ~58-59 hands. I know these numbers are at least slightly off...but I think it falls well within the realm of possibility that quads will show up 11 times in a 700 hand stretch at a 10 person table. The table would have to be pretty loose to see all of them, but I don't think it's *that* big a stretch.

But online poker is rigged. Move to a non-pattern mapped table.

Edit: My math should work for one person being dealt 7000 hands, as opposed to 10 people being dealt 700 hands. I don't have time to compute that probability, but I don't think it's going to be *that* far off.
