After 1675 pairs seeing a flop, the probability of flopping 168 or fewer sets is 1.4%

So if 200 players were to play this many hands of holdem over the same period, at the same on-line poker site, and if the poker site IS fair, you'd expect 3 of these players to have these results, right?

And another 3 with the opposite results (they are just happier people [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img])

Three (2.8) would be your average number if you repeated the 200 players playing 1675 flops many times. You would get exactly three only about 22% of the time.
