Odds for pairs, trips, and quads
Odds For The Following Events
Being Dealt
| Event | Odds Against | % |
| AA | 220 to 1 | 0.45% |
| AK suited | 331 to 1 | 0.30% |
| AK offsuit | 110 to 1 | 0.90% |
| Ax offsuit | 5.25 to 1 | 16% |
After Being Dealt A Pocket Pair
| Flopping Trips or better | 7.5 to 1 | 11.76% |
| Flopping Trips | 8.3 to 1 | 10.75% |
| Flopping A Full House (Boat) | 136 to 1 | 0.73% |
| Flopping 4 of a kind | 407 to 1 | 0.24 % |
| Trips or better by the river | 4.2 to 1 | 19.23% |
Please note that trips or better by the river includes other opponents beating you with a better hand. You may make trips on the river but they may make 4 of a kind. Flopping a full house doesn’t put you in winning shape either. Your opponent may have flopped a better full house (example. you hold 77 flop comes 7AA. Your opponent holds A7. Best example of this would be the opening scene in Rounders.) Flopping 4 of a kind is the only hand on the list that ALMOST guarantees victory but could lose to a straight flush if you play too slow and allow your opponent to beat you (4 Jacks lost to one of our editors’ Royal Flush on the river)
