Question Advanced odds:

Today I lost a solid $500 ish on this hand. Live casino play I might add to show it doesn't just happen online.
Looking for comfort in the odds of it not happening again for a while.

Pocket 3s Vs. Pocket 6s

Flop
6 6 3

what a cold deck. so the question is what are the odds of flopping 3s full of 6s and the other guy flopping quads both starting with PPs.

To make it even worse we entered the flop heads up after I raised from late position in a limped pot. lol flop came club club dia. i bet the flop when checked to lol thinking i would disguise the strenght of my hand. he called. board made the flush on the turn Q clubs LMFAO he check min raised my bet and im thinking great he made his flush im getting paid. river comes he led out. LMFAO i hollywood it before i raise all in . when he rolled over his hand i almost threw up.

all laughs instead of tears ....

anywayz thanks to any replies with some math behind the shellacking i was handed.

not really an advanced odds questions...its pretty straight forward really.

first hes got to catch both of his 6s...
so ( 2/48 )( 1/47 ) = 2/2256
= 1/1128

then you catching one of your treys...

( 2/46 )

then the odds of them both happening together...

( 2/46 )( 1/1128 ) = 2/51888
= 1/25944
