Hi I do not have any idea how often this could happen, what are the odds??
The odds of hitting it once is like 1 in 4,164, so since in omaha you are basiaclly dealt 6 hands (the 6 possible ways of combining your 4 cards to make the 2 card hand you use in the end)...maybe the odds would then be a bit better, like 1 in 694. So getting it twice in one hand would be like.. I have no idea! I'll try to figure it out later. Someone please correct my math on this one.
Cheers,
D

Hey Bob (BIGBOB) lost with flopped 4 of a kind (8's) to 4 of a kind (K's) at Niagara about 3 weeks ago. Think the K's got the 3rd K on the turn, and they got it all in there, river brings the case K and Bob loses his stack. Wow is he loose....... Better not ask him about it though, may be a bit touchy....
Well, the odds of it happening in Omaha are likely greater then Holdem, but I have to say I have never seen it happen ever in over 100,000 Omaha hands and 500,000 Holdem hands so safe to say that is pretty rare. I think someone else posted a NL hand recently where one quads beat another quads that beat a third person with trips.
Probably the oddest hands I recall of mine were
Party Monster weekly, I have AA get in a 4 way all in preflop vs 88 77 and 33. Flop was 8 7 3 and noone improved.
A Stars tournament, can't remember what a couple years ago late and 3 others go all in preflop QQ vs KQ vs 22 and flop was Q22. I remember thinking how odd it was for someone to flop the nut full house and be drawing completely dead
A stars tournament where I go all in with AA vs KK flop is A 8 3 so I switch to other tables where I am up and only notice a few hands later that my chip stack is smaller then it should be, I scroll up and see tons of OMGs etc because he hit runner runner kings
The number 1 in ,4164 I gave before was actually for 5 card poker, so with Texas Hold 'em it increases to 594 : 1 and Omaha would be even higher. As fas as making 2 at the same time.. I am still not sure.Â* Working on it tho...

The guy who posted was always the dog in the hand... with his 2's; but still a tough beat.Â* Â*
Not sure what would be the crazier odds to happen.Â* The Double QUADS in this OP, or the 3 ppl flopping a set (2 hitting QUADS) in the topic I mention above.

I'm surprised no one did the math on the OP's question. I'll take a stab at it.
#of boards that would give a double paired hand double quads:
4*3*2*1*44 * 5! arrangements of those cards
=126720
# of possible boards based on just knowing the OP's hand:
48*47*46*45*44
=205476480
So the odds of double quads is 126720/205476480
=1 in 1621.5
So for every time that you start with a double paired hand in Omaha, you will get double quads 1 in 1621.5 times, assuming you don't fold before the river.
I'll leave it up to someone else to figure out the odds of being dealt a double paired hand in Omaha.
