How many possible full houses in poker?

Answer 1

Not 100% on this, but I think...

For any given trio we have 4C3 = 4 ways to arrange the suits, and 13 different number/face cards which may be the trio

for 52 possibilities.

Then we have 12 selections for the pair with 4C2 = 12 suit combinations for 144 different pairs.

144 * 52 = 7488

(Answer is the same if you select the pair first, just is 156 * 48 = 7488)

Answer 2

There are 4 ways to choose 3 cards of the same rank (set).

There are 6 ways to choose 2 cards of the same rank (pair).

There are 13 ranks from which to get the the set, and then only 12 remain for the pair. So there are: (4*13) * (6*12) = 3744 different full house combinations.

Since the suit doesn't matter however, there are only 13*12 = 156 distinctly valued full houses.

Answer 3

In most games of Poker a full house does beat a flush. It does not however beat a straight flush.
