Ok, so I looked on wikipedia and found that hero has a "full house," also known as a "boat" or a "full boat."

There are only 2 hands that beat a full house. One is "four of a kind," also known as "quads." The other is a "straight flush."

So the villain has to have either four of a kind or a straight flush. OP said villain does not have a straight flush, so that leaves only four of a kind.

Anyway, that's kind of where I get stuck. I think villain either has QQ for four of a kind queens or KK and another K falls on the turn or the river.

Is this correct?

Simulator finally ended.

It came up with:

<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>BAD BEAT SIMULATOR:
Total hands calculated: 72,395,875,235
RESULTS: AK,AJ,AT,A9,A8,A7,A6,A5,A4,A3,A2
Running time: 4:12:32
Hands/Second: 15,152</pre><hr />

But what could it mean????? How exactly is an A supposed to outdraw a full house?

Back to the lab...

Big Jim,

Ok, I think I got it this time.

"How exactly is an A supposed to outdraw a full house?"

If the turn and river are both kings, both players have kings full of queens, but now one player has the ace kicker!!!!

See, I was close the first time!

I think maybe we're not looking at it the right way. Looking back, I see that ZEEbo might be on to something with his "royal flush" theory.

Not sure why the simulator didn't pick it up, though.
