Hey everyone, I have a question for the math people out there. In a game of Jacks or better, about how many hands would it take to get a three of a kind? Staight? Full house? Looking at a new game and was curious about how often each of these hands happen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

...The Wizard's odds site has a VP Strategy Calculator that gives the "HIT FREQUENCY" of any game specified.
For example: 9-6 JoB
3 of a Kind - 1 in 13.43 hands
Straight - 1 in 89.05 hands
Full House - 1 in 86.86 hands
*remember these are averages subject to their own variance/standard deviations. So if you go 200 hands without hitting a full house you're not getting cheated... probably.

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Thanks Romes! Exactly what I was looking for. Additional thanks to the Wizard for such a great tool.
