Hi I am new to this forum.
In a home game we had Quad 5's come up in consecutive hands. I don't think I have ever seen quads in consecutive hands before, much less of the same value. I was hoping someone would be able to calculate the odds of this occurring.
Thank you.

More information needed.
What game were you playing and how many players were there?
Even then, we're only going to be able to roughly approximate for anything other than a Stud game...or something like Texas Hold 'Em. The reason for that is because we don't know what sort of decisions all of the players would be making in a draw game as they, most likely, do not play exactly the same way. For example, one player might keep a four flush over a pair of fives whereas another might prefer to draw to the pair of fives.

Was this Texas Hold'em or some other poker game? How many players in a hand?
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

The short answer is, shit happens.
And because you saw it happen, it doesn’t mean anything.

Yes sorry,
It was a Texas Holdem game. We were playing mini tournament poker. It was heads up.

I was dealing at the time not playing. Just very curious to know the odds of this occurring.
