Odds Of Quad Aces In Texas Holdem



Playing poker is about playing the odds. The following list gives the odds for outcomes in Texas Hold’em hands. When you realize how heavily the odds are stacked against you, you may want to rethink going all-in before the flop with two suited cards. Use the odds to your advantage:

Re: Odds of getting quad aces with PP Just as a side note, even if the jackpot requires the quads and pocket pair to be the same rank (which seems very likely to be the case), the 'other' case where a player wins the hand with a pocket pair and a different rank quads are on board is sort of interesting to me. In Texas Hold'em, a player is dealt two down card (or pocket cards). The first card can be any one of 52 playing cards in the deck and the second card can be any one of the 51 remaining cards. This gives 52 × 51 ÷ 2 = 1,326 possible starting hand combinations (since the order of the cards is not significant, the 2,652 permutations are divided.

  • Let's start with some rather simple but quite important odds: being dealt aces. There are 1,326 different hole-card combinations in Texas Hold'em poker and 6 of them are aces. Thus the odds of being dealt aces in any hand are 6 to 1,320 or 1 to 221 (or 0.45%). You probably already knew that.
  • So basically: 8,901,864: 1 odds of you getting the same four of a kind assuming you are the only one with the four of a kind each time. Otherwise, 4,602,324: 1 odds of you getting the same four of a kind twice.
  • 1 percent (1-in-100): Percentage of time that no player holds an Ace or a King at a table in a 10-handed game

  • 1 percent (1-in-100): Percentage of time that if you hold two suited cards, you’ll flop a flush

  • 6 percent (about 1-in-20): Percentage of time that five community cards will give pocket suited cards a flush

  • 6 percent (about 1-in-20): Percentage of time that you’ll be dealt a pocket pair

  • 8 percent (about 1-in-12): Percentage of time that you’ll hit at least trips after having a pair on the flop

  • 12 percent (about 1-in-8): Percentage of time that you’ll flop trips if holding a pocket pair

  • 12 percent (about 1-in-8): Percentage of time that two more cards will flop in the same suit as a suited pocket pair

  • 19 percent (about 1-in-5): Percentage of time that the five community cards will at least trip your pocket pair

  • 32 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll pair one of your cards on the flop (with no pocket pair)

  • 33 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll make a full house or better after having trips on the flop

  • 35 percent (about 1-in-3): Percentage of time that you’ll make a flush on the turn or river if you have four cards to a flush after the flop

Odds Of Quad Aces In Texas Holdem Games

Probably as much as any single other thing, we have to concern ourselves with probabilities that involve Aces. If we are holding a strong Holdem hand like a pair of Kings or Queens or similar starting hands with non-ace high cards, we usually don't want to see an ace flop.

Many players that are normally careful about playing only good hands will evaluate starting hands with an ace very liberally. For example, a player who would almost never play a K 6 off suit from an early position might look for excuses to play the hand if it had an Ace instead of a King. Players often hang on to aces even when they probably shouldn't.
