6 player...12 cards dealt

1st peep 3/50 to hit pair
2nd peep..ditto
3rd peep ditto
4th peep ditto
5th peep ditto
6th peep ditto

(a) So odds to hit four of =  3/50 * 3/50 * 3/50 * 3/50

But you have 6 peeps taking a shot at this so...

(b) Any 4 peeps from 6 = 6x5x4x3/1*2*3*4

Ergo (A)/(B) = ANSWER


Someone get a calculator

I will have a go.....

There are 15 combinations of any 4 from 6. [(6*5)/(1*2)].

Obviously the chance of one person being dealt a pocket pair is 1/17. If it is known that one person has been dealt a pocket pair, then the odds of another person being dealt a pocket pair are not exactly 1/17, too complicated to work out but 1/17 is a good approximation still.

So the approx chance of 4 players being dealt pocket pairs at a 6 handed table are 15 * 1/17 * 1/17 *1/17 * 1/17 = 1 / 5568.

So once in 5,568 deals. Not exactly right but close enough I think....
