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.
