flopping a set while holding a pocket pair

I hate playing pocket 2's ....

Anyways....

What are the odds of flopping a 2 when I have 22

about 7.5:1

about 11%

You're all wrong. 12.2% is the correct answer, or 1:7.3!!!

c9h13no3 is right it is 12.2% or 1:7.3But I love pkt 2s bc when u hit no one puts u pkt 2

Yeah, but it always works for him!

I agree with the small pp try and get in cheap ..if you flop a set great if not very easy to get away from it.

For anyone who doubts the power of the flopped set, check out these stats I just noticed today in Poker Tracker. These stats are for 205 tournaments, of various types.

Final Hand : Tournament Amount Won
High Card : -88,811
One Pair : 1,046
Two Pair : 92,015
Three of a Kind : 110,166
Straight : 11,881
Flush : 56,820
Full House : 22,624
Four of a Kind : 7,351

Despite hitting 2-pair more than 5 times as often as sets, I've still earned more tournament chips with the sets. Boats and quads are great, but nothing gets paid like a set.

Wow, you ain't kidding!

With the odds about 8-1 against hitting your set there would need to be a lot of people in the pot to justify playing them. I never play the small pairs in early position and maybe not in late if there's a raise on the table. If you don't hit your set any other pair will have you beat.
