Hey,

According to this site:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_probability

The odds of making quads(4 of a kind) in Texas Holdem is 594:1.

What I want to know is the overall odds of making '4 of a kind' 3 hands in a row.

Do I simply multiply by 3 or is it more complex. I am not a math person past the basics, so any serious complexity will go over my head. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW- I did indeed get quads 3 times in a row and got paid each time too!

I came in 7th place out of 1200 in the small stakes tournament which this occured.
