The real question is why the hell do you care? The goal is to be able to look at a board, figure out where you stand, and calculate your outs if you have a drawing hand. The rest is reading your opponent and picking spots to bluff. I can't figure out how this equation would help your poker skills.
calm down there old man.
So I take it from your post that you are still too lazy to look up some simple formulas which you could use to get the answer you're looking for, am I right?

This is so simple:
ManyBeers, you want the answer to check your solution?
Why don't you just post the answer you got, and we'll let you know if you're right or wrong.
In other words, you first. The number of possible hands that have 3 of a kind is:

I already have. Read the thread and one of my posts gives my answer.
they did you're just too ignorant to figure it out. jesus why are there so many retards on this board.

Ahh, I missed it the first time. It's not correct. Usually though, when students of mine post an incorrect answer, it's a factor or multiple of the correct answer. Or, it's in the ball-park. Yours isn't too close. What did you do to calculate that?
Even if you go about solving the problem not understanding the notation for combinations, it's not too difficult to figure out that just looking at the 3 cards that are the same, you could have a 2 of clubs, 2spades, 2 diamonds,
or 2C,2S,2H, or... Just with the 2's, there are 4 different 3 of a kind hands.
This leads to 4 times 13 ranks = 52 different combinations of just the 3 of a kind cards.
Now, just with a 4 card hand, there are 49 other cards to complete the hand. 48 since you want to exclude making a 4 of a kind hand. So, for each of those 52 combinations of 3 of a kind, you have 48 other cards that can be used. This leads to 2,496 different hands, which is already far more than what you have suggested (1,381).
Which brings me to another question: how the heck did you wind up with an odd number of possibilities??
As would be stated on sites that are geared toward helping with homework: Show us your work and we'll show you where you're making an error in logic or calculation.
Also, your accusation that others here are only providing a formula?! That's pretty silly. It's like saying "Give me the answer, not the formula" when they're providing "3 times 4." Most scientific calculators very readily have a permutation and combination calculation. (on the cheap $10 TI calculators, it says nPr and nCr above the number 5 and 8 IIRC) This is little different from using the square root function on a calculator.

Awwww, you ruined it! I've been chuckling ever since txrandom posted that link and he failed to even check out what was there. Of course, that was 16 posts after Tx showed him where the answer came from.
And, let's not forget that Schfifty Five told him exactly what he'd need to google to find out how to use TxRandom's formula. Plus, at least one person told him to google poker probabilities.
"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish..." In this case, although posters were rude about it (rude isn't a violation, but the personal attack was), they did everything but cast the fishing pole for him.

I don't think you are a good teacher, you are too quick to put done and belittle. But thanks for trying.

Do you even realize how incredibly rude you are being to people who are actually helping you?
