    Default What are the odds?

    Does anybody know the odds of JJ, KK & AA all being dealt in the same hand?

    Depends how many people are dealt in the hand, obviously.

    Also, I'd argue it depends on the action. Probability is much higher if there's a raise and reraise and you're looking at AA on the CO compared to if it's folded round to you.

    Ultimately, it doesn't matter. It's very unlikely, it's a lot of boring maths and it's not going to help make your decision any easier.

    It was a question as it just happened. 6 handed

    Also, to make those odds slightly better, the JJ flopped 4 of a kind

    Well this is wrong, since chances of getting any specific pair are 220:1

    Multiply by a thousand and we're probably getting close.

    Well it was about that time that I noticed that Sloomer was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic era.

    I think I've posted this before, years ago, but it's still a good one.
