reverse bad beat - just how big of a longshot did I hit?
I'm curious as to how big of a suckout I pulled on this hand.
I held 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Flop was 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] The suckout victim held 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for a flopped eights full over sevens. I caught runner runner nines to win the pot with nines full [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I figure that to win this pot, I had to catch one of the following: runner runner 9s runner runner 10s runner runner 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] runner runner 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Did I miss anything on what I needed to catch? And the odds of this happening were what - one in 1500 or so? |

We note that since they're mutually exclusive, we can calculate the individual probabilities and add them together. 45 cards are left. 2 9's: (3/45)*(2/44) 2 10's: same each str8 flush: (2/45)*(1/45) 2*(3/45)*(2/44) + 2*(2/45)*(1/45) = .008 About 1 in 125 |

You guys are both forgetting running sevens which would give the hero four sevens with a ten kicker.

You are a 109:1 dog on the flop.

Perfect perfect is 989:1 so 1500:1 is not possible.
