What is the projected frequency of getting 4OAK in 10/7 DB? Thanks,

Quick look at VP Genius gives about:
4 Aces           1 in 5000
4 (2,3,4)        1 in 1900
4 (5-K)          1 in 600

Someone will probably give the frequency for any 4 OAK.

Generally, 4oaks occur around 425 hands in Bonus games. It might be slightly less in DB due to going for more straights. But probably pretty close.

Let's go with 1 in 429.089 hands, approximately

not frequent enough

not frequent enoughWell, you could get quads more frequently, say every 417.52 hands, by pretending that quads were worth double their normal payoff, but that would bring your EV from 100.17% down to 99.94% with 10/7 DB.Or you could get quads every 397.25 hands by pretending that quads were worth quadruple their normal payoff, bringing the EV down to 98.48%.I think the most frequent you might be able to get quads with this game is every 376.94 hands.If that is still "not frequent enough," you may want to try Deuces Wild, or better yet, Deuces and Joker Wild or 5 Joker Poker.

I had 100 quads today playing OEJs. Should have had 85 so I beat the odds handily.
