Hold'em Quiz

[skp]

It's actually a Q8732 board when you hold QQ.

Mike Caro posed this question [$100 prize] when I was in a Planet Poker 20-40 game years ago. He worded the question so brutally that no one had a clue what the hell he was talking about.

He then changed his question to an easier one:

What are the odds of getting a pocket pair dealt to you?

Glad to report that I pocketed the $100 prize.

But I was even more glad to see the responses given by my opponents: Everything from 4:1 to 50:1 to 300:1. It then became very clear to me why the game was so profitable.
