Pai-Gow bad beat story

Brock Landers · #1 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

Last week during a crazy drunkfest in Vegas, my buddy and I decide to each go $500 a hand. We both get Queen high Pai-Gows (no pair, flush or straight) and the dealer gets the same. We both LOSE our hands without any ties. What do you guys think the odds are for this happening? Drunkedly, we estimated it at about 1 in 10,000. Is there any way to find this out?

To lose a queen high pai-gow you only have to lose the second card (or tie second, lose third, etc.), which isn't unlikely. Would you have been as surprised if your two Q's were beat by a K?

No, as that is not THAT uncommon. But, the fact that both of our Queen high pai-gows lost to a dealer's Queen high pai-gow had to be a huge longshot.

Just the fact that me, my buddy, and the dealer all had such weak hands was a big longshot. Added to that was that her hand beat us both.

I quess the place to start would be to figure out how often you get a hand as week as each of our hands (me and my buddy) and then multiply those #'s but eachother?
