ok, so you ran into quads three times in roughly 250 hands? Just out of curiousity, does that mean you were involved in each hand with the quads? I am not sure what is going on with the flush house words you wrote, but I surmise that you are trying to say you didn't have a great hand against the quads.

When something like that happens to me I figure the odds to be 1/a lot. Figuring out the exact number isn't really worth it unless you need the number for your bad beat story. And if that is what you want the number for, just make it up.

In my line of work we have a term for something like this. It is "rare squared". In your case it would be "rare cubed".

It's the binomial distribution:



P = probability of success, or probability of having 4 of a kind in a hold 'em hand.
N = number of trials, or number of players * number of hands
n = number of successes, or in this case 3

No I ran into quads 3 times
twice at a 6 person N/L table once at a 9 person N/L tourny
but according to your numbers I should have played the lottery instead
