Default Odds question

Not sure where to post this hope its would be ok here.

What are the odds of flopping set over set over set?

I think flopping an over set i 1.1%, is that corret?

Thanks

Default Re: Odds question

I get 1%, but could be wrong.

First, I'm assuming you're talking about the specific case where you have a pocket pair and the other player has a larger pocket pair.

There are 48 choose 3 possible flops (thats 17296) and of those 2*2*44 (thats 176) are of the variety you don't want (there are 2 cards that make you a set, 2 that make him a set, and 44 left). 176/17296 is about 1%

This is ignoring the cases where one of you flop quads (so a boat vs quads situation), which would probably add the .1% I'm missing.
