Default Re: What are the odds on this: 3 sets and a str8 on the flop.

I've seen a similar hand in a live tourney at the Trop in AC that I eventually won. 12 left in tourney, so we're playing 6-handed.

Pre-flop:
UTG (which is me) has 66 and raises
SB has 22 and calls
BB has 33 and calls

Flop comes 6-3-2 Rainbow.
I bet.
SB Calls.
BB raises all-in.
I call.
SB folds & shows his trip dueces. I was pissed, because I should have taken them both out.

Anyway, here's the math:

The probability you flop a set is about .12 (which is about 7.2-to-1).

3 people flopping sets is (.12)(.12)(.12)=0.001728

You need 8 of the remaining 50 cards. Whichever one you get, you need 4 of the remaining 49 cards.

The Probability of flopping the 2-gut straight is (8/50)(4/49)=.013

The Probability of 3 people flopping sets & a 2-gut straight is (.12)(.12)(.12)(.013)=.00002351

If you didn't notice, I'm a math teacher who just happens to teach Probability & Statistics. I'm pretty sure those numbers are correct (even though they've been rounded slightly).

Come on, everyone knows the Trop is rigged. I bet your opponents had cashed out recently.

Default A math teacher ?

WHo happens to teach probability ?

YIKES !

*

.12 cubed is not the correct answer.

*

If "Joe", "Bob" and "Bill" all hold pocket pairs and it is known that both Joe and Bob flop sets, the chances of Bill also flopping a set is not .12

BAYES THEOREM is at work here.

If we know that "A" and "B" occured and want to know whether "C" occured, the chances are not static if we are referring to a series of DEpendent trials.

- The same would hold true if the calculation was to determine the chances of both AA and KK flopping sets in the same hand. Since the chance of "B" occurring is dependent on whether or not "A" occurs they are dependent and therefore do not lend themselves to the same method as . . .

If the chance of one die landing on 6 is 1:6 what are the chances that a set of two dice show 6-6 ?

For anyone who doesn't get it . . .

If AA, KK, QQ and JJ all see the flop, what are the chances that ALL FOUR flop a set ?

Zero, right ?

OK . . .

I could be wrong, But I think your missing the probablity of the players all being dealt pairs in the first place. It looks like your calculations already assume the four players have the nessasary hands for this to work.

Dealing out 3 pair and a hand that fits a striaght between them is probably also an unlikely event.

That hand history is nuts. Who makes a hand history that doesnt show suits? How are supposed to know if someone was drawing a flush or was just insane?

50:50. 50% that three people will flop sets and one a strait, and 50% that it won't happen.

For the record, if this is an actual hand (and I'm not necessarily convinced that it is), this is pretty incredible. Three players flop a set and and a 4th player flops the nut straight, with one player hitting quads on the end. If you were going to rig a hand, that's about as beautiful as it gets. :-)
