Don't wrap yourself up in the Bad Beat odds.
Poker is cruel at times and incredibly kind at other times.

Bad Luck.
Good Luck.
Nothing last forever.

Poker is What it is ..........

Full tilt.....
Like i said it happens once... shrugs ... twice unlucky five times over 800-1000 hands... odds may be worse than the lottery.
I thought for once the odds would be 1/9 x 1/9 = 1/81
1/9 is odds of hitting trips with pocket pair "i think off my memory"

Found that on 2+2:

Odds of being dealt a pocket pair: 1/17
Odds of flopping a set: 1/8

1/17*1/8 = 1/136

Odds of an opponent being dealt a pocket pair (10 handed): 9/17
Odds of them flopping a set: 1/8

9/17*1/8 = 9/136

Odds of you and an opponent both flopping a set:

9/18496

Odds that your opponent flopped a higher set: 3/6

total odds: 9/36992 = .024%

Variance tends to vary.

The odds of getting a set with all five common cards showing is 1 in 5. Did the other player really hit top set on the flop all five times?
