    Hey guys, nice site and everything and keep on doing what you're doin, sweet site.

    But anyway, I'm making a new post because it won't let me reply to that other post since im in school. But last year on Ultimatebet at the 1-2 NL i not only got made aces two hands in a row but flopped quads both hands. I have the hands saved but they're on my old computer which is sitting in the closet. No one on the table could believe it. I ended up getting pretty good action both hands too, but what are the odds for flopped quad aces two hands in a row?

    In the other example, it was what are the odds of getting quads two hands in a row. You now severely limited it by not only saying aces two hands in a row, but Flopping them. Look for it to be a very small fraction of the percent listed.

    1/408 x (1/221 x 1/408) = 1/36,788,544 or 36,788,543 to 1.

    I think...

    [1/221 * (48/50 * 2/49 * 1/48) * 3!] ^ 2 = 4.9118 x 10^-10 = x

    1/x = 2 x 10^9 or 2 billion to 1

    this is the probability of holding pocket aces and then FLOPPING quad aces two hand in a row as near as i can figure it.

    I assumed you have already been dealt AA, but our answer is still different.

    I still like the other QUADS story better.... The time he flopped Quad aces, he had ONLY one in his hand.. so that made it tougher to actually make the quads back to back.
