Probability Derivations For Making Rank-based Hands in Omaha Hold 'em - Derivations For Starting Hands With Three of A Kind

Derivations For Starting Hands With Three of A Kind

To make a full house or three or four of a kind, starting hands with three of a kind (XXXY) need to either catch the case (last) X or catch two or three of the remaining Y cards (YY or YYY). They also improve to a full house if three or more of another rank appears on the board (rrr or rrrr), although any other hand holding a pair also makes a full house with this board. Three of a kind makes two pair if either a Y card or another pair appears on the board. The following tables show all the ways for XXXY to make four of a kind, a full house, three of a kind, two pair or one pair on the flop, turn and river.

Famous quotes containing the words starting, hands and/or kind:

    “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    “Even his hands are oily.”
    —Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

    “I do not mind if I lose my soul for all eternity. If the kind of God exists Who would damn me for not working out a deal with Him, then that is unfortunate. I should not care to spend eternity in the company of such a person.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
