Poker Odds Quads Over Quads
If the odds of hitting quads are 1 in 4,165 then I’d have thought happy to be corrected by a real statistician, I may be wrong that the odds of seeing two or more quads at a nine player table is approximately (as I have not consider how one player having quads will actually increase the odd of a second player having quads by reducing the remaining pack to 12 sets of 4 cards). Quad probability = 0. Or about 1 in 2347. Hope this helps! In spin poker you are playing 9 lines. To use all three 4x multipliers in my OP, that quad had to be in exactly 1 place. What are the odds of getting quads on a specific line while holding 1 card? 2347 x 9 (since there are 9 lines) = 1 in 21k?

Just like standard video poker, the player is dealt 5 cards. To make quads, you must have 3 of a kind and the remaining 2 cards must add up to total the same value as 1 of the 3 like cards. For example, if a player has a 7 of hearts, a 7 of spades and a 7 of clubs, in order to win, the player must get 2 cards that total 7 such as a 5 (of any suit) and a 2 (of any suit).
As we mentioned earlier, the ace is low when used in a quad and is valued as 1 point. The rules do not allow a player to make quads aces. The player does have the choice of keeping a 3 of a kind or even a natural 4 of a kind as those will still pay out just like in a standard video poker game.
The best possible Quick Quads Poker hand is 3 10s, a 9 and an ace (all of any suit). The list below is the shows how each quads hand ranks:
10 10 10 8 2
10 10 10 6 4
9 9 9 8 A
9 9 9 6 3
8 8 8 7 A
8 8 8 5 3
7 7 7 6 A
7 7 7 4 3
6 6 6 4 2
5 5 5 4 A
4 4 4 3 A
3 3 3 2 A
But this is just in the case of building quads, and payouts favor 2, 3 and 4 ranks quads as there are fewer combinations to make these quads.
As for the rest of the game play, it follows regular poker. The game still contains flushes, straights, full houses and pairs. We have ranked the hands below for your convenience:
Straight Flush
5 cards in consecutive order all of the same suit. For example 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 all of spades.
4 of a Kind
4 cards all of the same rank. In a 52 card deck, it will have one of each suit.
Full House
2 cards of matching rank along with 3 matching cards of a different match rank. For example 2 7s and 3 8s.
Straight
5 cards in consecutive order with different suits.

2 Pair
A set of 2 cards of matching rank along with a second set of 2 cards with a different matching rank. For example 2 6s and 2 5s.
Another aspect of the game is that there are different variations of Quick Quads. Variations include Jacks or Better, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Triple Bonus Plus. Each has some minor differences in the way the game is played. Some simply add a new rule or enhancement, for instance, Jacks or Better would require a minimum of a pair of jacks to win. Games with bonuses require certain hands to pay out higher bonuses.
It’s the hand that put you over the top. Or the two cards you held that time you were rivered for a monster pot. Everyone has “the hand,” that one that you remember no matter how many more tournaments or cash games played. PokerNews takes a look at those hands that stick with players and relive the glory, or misery, depending on the results.
Comedian Norm Macdonald made his way to the Rio on Sunday and was playing in a few sit 'n' go tournaments in the Pavilion after busting in the Monster Stack. The actor, writer, and comedian is a regular poker player and in town to play some events at the WSOP. Macdonald will also perform at the South Point Showroom from June 29 to July 1.
A veteran comedian, many may remember him as the host of Weekend Update on “Saturday Night Live” from 1996-98 as well as his impressions of Burt Reynolds, David Letterman and Larry King. Netflix also recently announced Macdonald had been signed for a 10-episode talk show called “Norm Macdonald Has a Show.”
When it came to the hand Macdonald remembers, his definitely tiled to the misery side.

When asked about a hand he can’t forget, one night at the Mirage came instantly to mind. He was playing in a $40/$80 limit hold’em cash game with a woman he regularly played with. In one hand, he was dealt pocket queens and the two got tangled up in a monster pot.
“The betting got crazy at the end, but she had mercy on me and let me off the hook.”
“She was dealt pocket kings, and I flopped quads,” he says.
Macdonald looked to be in great shape, but then there was a pretty sick runout on the table as they kept betting.
“Then she turned and rivered quad kings,” he says. “The betting got crazy at the end, but she had mercy on me and let me off the hook.”
At the end, Macdonald believes there were 12 bets back and forth between the two with no capped number of river raises. By the time it was over, the pot swelled to $6,600 and Macdonald came out on the short end of a massive cooler. To make things worse, unfortunately there wasn’t a bad beat jackpot.

“There should have been right?” he says laughing. “That would have been way better.”
Bad Beat Jackpot?
While there wasn’t a bad beat jackpot on that hand, Macdonald does remember a time he won something for a bad beat, thought it wasn’t quite what he expected.
“I did win a bad beat jackpot once at the Mohegan Sun, and they came back with a jacket,” he says. “I still have the jacket, but I would rather have had some money.”
“I still have the jacket, but I would rather have had some money.”

Macdonald has career tournament winnings of more than $44,000 with his best cash at the WSOP coming in 2013 in a $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em. He finished 20th for $14,608. Before Black Friday, Macdonald admits that he was a regular online player – playing as many as 20 limit hold’em games at once.
“Since they went offline, it kind of saved my life,” he says. “Because I was just grinding out and couldn’t even sleep. The good thing about [playing online] was it was just fold, fold, fold fold, fold – it was all ABC poker.”
This summer, the comedian plans to play as many as five events as well as the Main Event. When PokerNews caught up with him, Macdonald had busted the Monster Stack and had won a sit 'n' go. He then finished runner-up in another sit 'n' go after deciding against a deal for the money when heads-up. He was a little frustrated afterward and had a pang of regret.
“I should have taken that deal,” he said. Ever the poker player, however, Macdonald had a reason for playing on, noting: “I really wanted to practice playing heads-up.”
