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 starting point of the human and the end,
That in which space itself is contained, the gate
To the enclosure, day, the things illumined
By day, night and that which night illumines,
Night and its midnight-minting fragrances,
Nights hymn of the rock, as in a vivid sleep.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“...I never drink wine ... I keep my hands soft and supple ... I sleep in a soft bed and never over-tire my body. It is because when my hour strikes I must be a perfect instrument. My eyes must be steady, my brain clear, my nerves calm, my aim true. I must be prepared to do my work, successfully if God wills. But if I perish, I perish.”
—Lisa, Russian terrorist (anonymous)
“Bonnie Lee: Oh, its the most wonderful thing Ive ever seen.
Geoff Carter [sarcastically]: Yes, it reminded you of a great big, beautiful bird, didnt it?
Bonnie: No, it didnt at all. Thats why its so wonderful. Its really a flying human being.
Geoff: Well, youre right about one thing. A birdd have too much sense to fly in that kind of muck.”
—Jules Furthman (18881960)
