Is it easier to get 4 OAK when holding a pair and drawing 3 cards, or when holding 3 of a kind and drawing 2 cards ? (no wild cards)

THANKS, Rick

Holding a pair you should get a quad once every 360 hands on average. You are dealt a pair once every 2.37 hands. So, you should get a quad holding a pair once every 854 hands.

Holding 3oak you should get a quad once every 23.5 hands on average. You are dealt 3oak once every 47 hands (ignoring FHs). That's 1105 hands on average.

BTW, you should be dealt a quad every 4165 hands.
