Four of a Kind

[fehrstrum]

Four of a kind. No matter what size (2-2-2-2 or A-A-A-A) we love to get them. Thing is in live games you almost never see them. Online I seem to see them every time I play. D. Brunson's Super System listed the odds of hold a pair and flopping the matching pair as .24% The odds against being 407 to 1. If you hold that pair but miss the flop the chance that the turn and river will give the other half of your quads .09% The odds against 1080 to 1 So my question is how often do other players see the quads? How honest are these super algorithms that are suppose to simulate an honest deck of cards?

I used to think it was odd until I started multi tabling and seeing a lot of hands. Statistically, if it's 407 to 1, and you're seeing 1200+ hands over the course of a few hours, you should see at least 3 or 4 of them. I played last night for 2 hours and saw it once in about 500 hands.
