Why does this happen in online poker?

However the odds of getting three of a kind are 46-1 not 9-1 this also does not include that they completed it by hitting a 2 outer by holding the pair in their hand.

I'm looking foward to seeing the math behind this one. I guess I've just been really lucky with my pairs since I'm catching sets at a much greater rate than once in 46 times.

i'm convinced this is just another example of gabbyyyyyyyy intentionally putting out bogus math just so people comment.

does anyone know where that 46-to-1 comes from??

Those are the odds of a person getting a three of a kind.

The odds of a microboy getting it, are probably far less.

Only if someone stole one of their outs along with 2 other cards and then dealt a 1 card flop.

Ok I made a mistake it is 1-35.. Still makes the total odds of three people having it around one in 42000 hands (35x35x35)

i think that is for 5 card draw.


why not just outline the calculation yourself in a post, like anyone else here could do (i hope)?

So when is your 50000 BB Challenge going to start Daryn?? Make sure to have the minimum of 50000 big bets, you know those swings can be awful at 2/4.

[daryn]

i also posted this in another thread in NVG...

nevermind gabby, i have promised myself to never respond to you or the other loser again. the way i figure it, you can't be that dumb can you? i hope not. so if you're not, then you're just a dickhead troll. either way, why respond?

have fun doing whatever you do

maybe i'll start responding to you again when i get to a million bb's at 2-4.
