Have you ever seen a flop like that

    The odds of a flop of 222, 333, 444, etc, is 1 in 425. So quite unusual, but often seen at least once in every session or two if you are multitabling.

    The maths is assuming you don't know your hole cards. The first card has already happened, so the odds are 3/51 chance of the second card on the flop being the same. Then 2/50 chance the third card is the same. 3/51*2/50 = 6/2550 = 1/425.

    The chance of the turn then being the same card again is 1/425*1/49, so 1/20,825. That's quite unusual to see, even for high volume players.

    I've had jams called on the river when there have been quads on the board and I held the nuts (quads with ace kicker). People sometimes forget they are playing a five card hand and just think they are playing the board with quads and call.

    It's a school boy error calling any bet on a quad board if you haven't got the ace

    When you play "Live" poker in a casino/cardroom & the flop comes 9-9-9, there is ALWAYS one idiot who says "call the police" & then laughs at his oh-so unoriginal "joke".

    The temptation to give them a good slap is barely resistible.
