Re: Texas Hold'em - Bad Beat [#permalink]
I just added the spoiler just to make the post interesting.. What I would like to know is what are the odds of Player 1 getting Quad Aces and Player 2 getting a Royal Flush (I dont think any other straight flush or quad is possible) after the river or in other word.. How unlucky do I need to be to lose this game with Quad Aces?

Hmm.. I think I got what you are trying to say here.

the given - your cards; the community cards
the unknown - player 2's cards
to calculate - probability of you getting screwed after 1.) flop 2.) turn 3.) river

Its almost impossible to calculate by making cases before the river is burned because even you did not have quad aces before that. That will be crazy amount of work. After the river is flopped, only a J and K of diamonds can beat you. So the probability is 1/(number of ways of selecting 2 cards of the remaining deck i.e. selecting 2 out of (52-7) cards)

Most of the algos of the holdem odds calculators work the opposite way.
given: both the players' cards
unknown: the community cards
to calculate: odds for both player 1 & 2 after 1.) flop 2.) turn 3.) river
