If you saw a flop with every hand you were dealt in holdem...
How often would you flop a set?

About 1% of the times. Every 13th hand is a pair and the chance to flop a set is about 12%.

to get the exact numbers...sorry, i dont have a calculator nearby:
13 * [(4 C 2) / (52 C 2)] * [1 - [(48 C 3) / (50 C 3)]] Where x C y is n C r. This breaks down to: 13 different card values * probability of getting a pocket pair * (1 - probability that the next 3 cards dealt do not match your pocket pair) |

You've reduced the problem to 5 random cards. Chance of getting three of a kind with five cards is about 2.1%

By a set you must mean trips, haveing 3 of a kind regardless if the board is paired or you have a paired hole cards.
People commonly refer to a "set" as trips while holding a pocket pair |

According to common notion a set is a pocket pair and a matching card on the flop. Endastory.

According to the glossary in Super System by Brunson:
Set: A term used to describe Trips or Fours (Four-of-a-kind), as in a 'Set of trips'. According to the glossary in The Theory of Poker by Sklansky: Set: Three-of-a-kind. The term is used particularly in hold 'em. None of them say it has to be a pocket pair combined with the board. Endastory. |
