What are the odds in Texas holdem of being dealt two cards of the same suit and then the flop, turn, and river are that same suit???

Not my game but I suppose it would be c(13,7) * 4 / c(52,7)
It’s all about making that GTA

It doesn't matter what your first hole card is, but the other six cards have to match it; there are 12 cards of that suit out of 51.
There are C(51,6) = 18,900,460 ways to draw the 6 cards, of which C(12,6) = 924 would all be the same suit as the first card.
The probability = 924 / 18,900,460, or about 1 / 19,491.

The algorithm is:

4 x combin(13,7) / combin (52,7)

= 4 * 1716 / 133784560

=0.000051306
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I’ve had a 7 card flush without joker at Pai Gow. But I’ve certainly played more than 20,000 hands…. So not unusual. M
