Random Question

I just had my friends over for a home game (9 of us) and one of my friends flopped quads back to back hands. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what the odds of this happening would be. I was ready to make the 2 hour drive to AC after he showed quads the 2nd time but no one else wanted to go. He got paid both hands too.

Oh Really? I'm guessing 1 in 400,000? I suck at math.

Flopping quads happens about 1/10,000 hands. The odds of flopping back to back quads: you do the math.

Few months ago some guy had AA and flopped quads. Very next hand the guy 3 to his left had AA and flopped quads. I paid them off both times with boats

Playing with half cards sucks

my math maybe completely wrong but here it goes:if they were both from paired hole cards: .000004%if they were both from unpaired hole cards: .00000001%if one was unpaired and the next was paired (or vice versa): .0000002%

Probability-wise it doesn't matter whether you flop quads with a pocket pair or with a three-of-a-kind flop, the odds for both are about 1/10305, which are the odds of getting quads when you draw five random cards from a deck of 52: 1 (getting any card) * 3/51 (pairing it) * 2/50 (making trips) * (1/49 + 1/48) (two shots at the case card).Now, for the actual question, the answer is, "it depends". If you put all hands and flops dealt to some player over their lifetime in a list, and then select an entry at random, then the odds for that entry and the next entry both containing flopped quads are 1/10305^2 or about 1 in 106 million. However, if you flopped quads and then wondered what the odds are for you to flop quads again on the next hand, the answer is 1/10305, because cards (should) have no memory.

Odds must be pretty high since it happened.

Yup. This is the official answer of the thread.

ok, if you 4 of a kind, 2 hands in a row, and theres 52 cards in the deck, and the odds of getting a pair is 1 in 3, and the flop has 3 cards, it must be: 4x2x52x1x3x3=3744-1.Seems right to mesw of course. I could try to work it out, but I'm too lazy
