% of board pairing on the flop?

How often does the board pair on the flop ex. 10 10s 8h ?

The reason I ask is so often I have QQ+ and the board pairs and then I'm stuck winning a small pot or loosing a big one. Maybe the flop has a pair on it more often that I realize.

Also how do you play big pair QQ+ when the board pairs like my example?

Independent of hole cards, odds of board pairing are:

1-(48/51)(44/50) = 0.17 ~= 17%

Playing it is dependent on so many factors such as preflop action, your image, opponent's image, specific flop, position, etc.

Finally someone that posts a response that isn't something like "you are an idiot it the board pairs like umm all the time, donk".

TY man I really appreciate a straight forward answer. I guess it's just bad timing lately with the board pairing and villains having trips.
