Cindy_Essex Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 ...is also a fun one!I've always struggled to get four cards of the same suit. For some unknown reason (definitely confirmation bias) when it's a mission it takes me 3-5 hours of two tabling. On the bright side, today is the day when lots of inexperienced omaha players are at the tables! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateace Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I also took this time to have the 4 cards of the same suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startelver Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I gave up after a while , the odds of getting 4 in the same hand is not good. Just play the missions to get in the freerolls so another chance tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EatMoreNaga Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Probability is about once every hundred hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farseer Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yeah. Seems likely that my cash game ticket runs out faster than I will see 4-suiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzl3 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 The same here ... usually no more than 15 to 20 minutes, but today ... that was a really hard mission! Even the longest journey starts with the first step ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think that the odds are about ~1.5% if my calculations are correct. 😃 Luckily I finished it after 10-15 hands and also doubled up. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothMoth Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 @Cindy_Essex it's easier than to double up(to 200bb) esp. when it's clearly not your day in terms of luck...If you want just to get this ssss hand try to play the max number of tables - 8 at PLO4 very tight and you'll get it in half an hour almost for sure.

Puzzl3 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 @GothMoth at the beginning I was seated at 2 tables, after that 3 ... and was harder than usual for sure Even the longest journey starts with the first step ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
