Earlier in tourny i was in 10th of 23 left, i was delt Dark Jacks and ended up with headsup with chip lead preflop....flop came sums up how i felt. chip lead bet 50% of pot which made it huge i reraised all in he called and turned over

he had 2 outs with a

on turn and river i won the pot. I cashed and chip lead never played nearly as good as he did leading up to this hand i sent him on tilt. Now to the question what are the chances of two ppsflopping set????????????????

Negreanu got busted out of the main event this year. He had pocket 6's and his opponent had pocket 9's and the flop came x-6-9. I'm not sure of the odds but it certainly has happened to me a few times.

set over set is more common than u think. its just ugly side of variance. I have about 100k hands that I have tracked and i have been a par of set over set over 2 times. multi way pot that everyone hits a set it. I have had top set both times. I still think i have the HH from one of them otherweis i have rebooted my windows and lost the other database. good thing you were on the good side of this one but if you are on the other end, you just gotta shrug it off becouse when you get it in with bottom/middle set you are good most of the time.

Given you have a pocket pair and an opponent has a different pair, the probability of you flopping a set is about one time in eight. The opponent's is somewhat lower since your set card has used up one of the three possible places within the flop. Ignoring the small chance that you flopped quads, his probability is around on in 12. If you combine these, you get set over set happening a little over 1% of the time when two players begin with pocket pairs.

I would think it is more likely to happen with small pairs and monster pairs. Here is why. With small pairs you will get someone limping in and another calling. However, better players can lay down 9's, 10's, and J's if someone who is a farily tight palyer reraises all in. You should know they might be holding a large pair if not aces.

in my opinion it is a major difference between real poker and online one couse online is raked so hi stakes high rakes and it happends very often to see pocket aa against kk, jj flush straight all same time
