odds of some one flopping a higher set than you

thanks for the help! i checked out the paragraph that came out of phil gordons book. (1 out of 100 times, someone will flop a higher set than you)but does he mean 1 out of 100 hands, or 1 out of 100 sets?

I'm sure it's not every 100 hands! Every hundred times you have flopped a set sounds like the right ballpark to me.

About every 100 sets.

Basically, it happens so rarely that you should NEVER fold a set in a raised pot, in fear of a higher one.

I think the odds are ((13/221) * 0,12) * ((12/221) * 0,12) that you both flop a set , half of the time his set is higher so the chances are 0,0023 % , every 40000 hands
