Everyones talk of bad beats makes me laugh.

What's the probability that you see a flop with a PP 67 times and hit a set only 2 of those times? (HINT: it's way WAY less than someone hitting a 1 outer on the river)

not really

it will happen 0.9% of the time compared to the just over 2% of the time a one-outer hits

not WAY WAY different

there is actually a 1.1% chance of 2 or less sets in 67 pocket pairs that see a flop

reference

it does suck to be so far on the tail end of things

I may have over emphasized the "way way" part (and I did round up the prob of hitting a set when I did the math) as this is the second time in 40K hands I've been on this bad of extreme variance at FT (the other was with suckouts getting AI with best hands).
