THE HOTTEST DECK OF MY LIFE

Just finiished a home game with a few friends (v pissed at the mo so forgive the grammer)

FLOPPED 6 boats in a row !! Even called a raise with 43o and hit 443 on the flop, amazing won about 200euro if only it was my regular game, but anyway i needed a brag

6 boats in a row? We should ask diablo what the odds of that are!! Now is it the same each new deal or are we working out a combined event?


I got a pair of Aces twice in a row a while back..but we all know what the odds of that are right!!

Only messing..good job on the 200 euro and thats for that favour BTW.
See you tonight

Hmmm, when did diablo become our resident statistician? I know your relatively new here, so I'll excuse you for not being up on your ancient history. Go back and read Questions for the more advanced players and The stupid AA thing continued. Warning: This is long. This is realy the same problem but with different variables.

The odds of getting just one Full House dealt to you with 2 down and 5 on the board are 3,473,184(different ways to make a Full House) / 133,784,560(total combinations of hands possible) = .026 or about 37:1
2IAR = .0007 = 1,478:1
3IAR = 1.76 x 10^-5 = 56,894:1
4IAR = 4.57 x 10^-7 = 2,188,298:1
5IAR = 1.19 x 10^-8 = 84,165,335:1
6IAR = 3.09 x 10^-10 = 3,237,128,296:1
Suffice it to say that tenbob was very lucky indeed.
Too bad it didn't happen just one more time.
7IAR = 8.03 x 10^-12 =124,504,935:1
I think it would have been safe to say that this event had never ever occured in the entire history of this world, or any other world in any other universe or dimension real or imaginary.
Remember The Heart of Gold, the starship in Douglas Adams book The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy? It ran off an engine called an infinite imbrobability drive. When engaged, the ship would simultaneously pass through every point in the universe but would result in distressingly improbable events which would occur in and around the ship. Examples given were losing limbs, turning into penguins, planets spontaneously becoming fruitcakes, nuclear missiles metamorphosing into sperm whales and bowls of petunias and last but not least improbable, tenbob flopping 6 boats in a row.

PS- bob, do you mind if I rub your head for luck?

Great post 4 dogs!!!!

Bob, do you realise you are 214 times more likely to get 6 numbers on national lottery that have 6 consecutive full houses!!

3 billion to 1 - that's probably the equivalent of being sucked out of a passenger jet that has been hit by a falling satelite, and landing on a naked Cameron Diaz!

LMAO

Well done on the math 4dogs.
2 times my pocket pairs hit the flop perfect, perfect
Once my 42 o/s hit the flop perfect perfect
And the rest were made on the river when my 2 pair came good.

So i lied about FLOPPING them all. I was drunk and bragging at the time of my post.


I got customers for them all though, it was amazing. That was the end of our poker night though, beause everyone else wanted to play 25 after that. Plus i was getting very cocky at that stage of the evening !!!

That's ok bob. The numbers are correct for 7 cards, not 5. So 3 of 6 were flopped huh? I'm gonna have to replace the batteries in my calculator before I tackle this one.

FourDogs, don't hate me because I'm beautiful. That is all...carry on.

Im playing my usual game tonight, whats the odd that i dont get a single playablehand all evening ????

LMAO

Hi Dogs,
I read that post a while back,thats why i was making that tongue in cheek comment.. good job on the maths BTW

Bob, be careful when you venture out of doors....you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than hitting those boats six times in a row. If I were you I'd stay indoors next thunder storm...lol

Lol, myself and tenbob where at our weekly game of poker last night and he hit another two fullhouses in a row.

He is really on a roll here!!!!!

And just to clear matters up, i was playing on that infamous night and yes it happened, But we were all very drunk?????????

Miracles do happen sometimes, Believe it or believe it not!!!!!

Oh ya nearly forgot, when we were on our way to poker, he just missed getting hit by lighting.
Must say luck is really stacked in his favour of late, hope some rubs off on me. lollllll
