Default Re: funny question about quads two hands in a row

1) the probability is quite low.

2) internet poker is not rigged.

3) if you know how to calculate the probability of a flush hitting with 2 cards to come, then you can answer your question with a calculator.

4) bear in mind the probability of any crazy event happening (royal flush over straight flush, quads over Full house, straight flush over nut flush) is not as low as the probability of a specific rare thing happening. In other words, you might be compelled to make this post if a number of "extremely rare" events happened, and you may quote a 1 in 25 million odds. However, the probability is much higher that you come across any number of unlikely hand sequences.
