When I play poker online, it seems whenever I hold a pair, the only time Im virtually guaranteed to get three of a kind is when I hold a pair of 6's. I wonder if the web site programs this purposly or not.
 
In an honestly programmed game, if you kept a pair and drew three cards, the probability of getting none of the remaining two of that rank is 14190/16215 or about .875, the probability of getting exactly one more of that rank is 1980/16215 or about .122, and the probability of getting both of the other cards of that rank is 45/16215 or about .003.

This is the same for keeping a pair of aces, a pair of kings, and so on, regardless of the pair you keep.

If you believe that the game is not programmed honestly, then you should definitely not play it.

Note to poker players: The probabiities above do not tell you the final hand, just how many of the same rank (of the pair you kept) that you get. So the 14190/16215 where you get no more 6's when drawing to 66 includes such diverse hands as 66AKQ, 66AA4, and even 66AAA.
 
IMHO, the best part of Poker is the psychological game between the players, but you won't get that on a computer.

I loved "Cincinnatti Kid"! 😀

Gee! I wonder what the probability is of drawing three aces 🙄

Holding 66 after discarding three non-matching cards:

If one of the cards you discarded was an ace, then the probability of drawing three aces is 1/16215

If the three cards you discarded were all not aces, then the probability of drawing three aces is 4/16215
 
Liquor in the front.... Poker in the back!!!
