Re: What are the odds of THIS PokerStars suckout??
[ QUOTE ]
So you more experienced players - why does it feel like I keep losing hands where I'm favourite? [/ QUOTE ] Nobody remembers losing hands where they were a huge dog, or winning those for that matter. We only remember the bad beats. That's not entirely true. I do well remember cracking AA with 72o, but that was against a friend so it doesn't really count.

We poker players think that we should never lose when we are 4:1, never! Anytime we do lose as a big favorite we consider it a gross injustice and think that the universe owes us some compensation.

The odds of THIS suckout?
If you have a pocket pair, and your opponent has one card that matches your pair, the odds that opponent flops quads is 1 in 17,296 astronomical, right? not really. If you play a lot of hands, you can expect to see worse. If opponent didn't have a queen (nor pocket pair), his odds of flopping quads are 1 in 8,648

Re: What are the odds of THIS PokerStars suckout??
I obviously haven't played enough poker yet - I've had at least 3 opponents flop quads on me (all online), but only ever had quads once (by the turn), which was in a live game.
Of course there might have been plenty that never actually made it to the flop.

that's pretty sick! I'd probably quit poker if that happened to me.
