Poker Quads Vs Full House

A full house is three of a kind and a pair combined. For example ace-ace-ace-king-king or 3-3-3-8-8. Full houses are extremely strong hands but at least somewhat visible in No-Limit Hold’em because the board must have at least one pair on it to complete the hand. Other names: Boat; Flush. Five cards of the same suit. And the money is distributed evenly. If two players each have a Full House, the player with the higher three of a kind wins the hand. The Best Poker Hands Ever: The Royal Flush is the highest possible winning hand in Texas Holdem poker. A straight flush is the next highest followed by quads (four-of-a-kind), a Full House and so on.

In Poker full house is superiour to all hands except quads (four of a kind e.g four aces), straight flush (sequence with same suit e.g A2345 of spades), royal flush (AKQJ10 of any of the four suits) and ofcourse a bigger full house (e.g AAAK.

I am having difficulty calculating the odds of a full house, aces full of kings with pocket pair, being beaten by quad jacks or higher, pocket pair, in Hold'Em.
Any help you can provide?

Odds are 100% I think.

For the way it was worded, that's a great reply.
But for a real answer, I suggest Naomi read the following page:

That won't even help. That page is just for bad beats for hands of a minimum rank (with both hole cards) beaten by any higher hand (with both hole cards).
This would require a new tedious calculation, unfortunately.

Yes, I understand if a player has aces full of spades, quad jacks or higher will definitely beat the hand. What I am looking for is the odds behind actually having those hands dealt.

I think what you are asking about are the odds of 'jackpot' situation playing no limit hold em.
Since I am math illiterate I can't tell you or explain it to you. But I remember seeing some report somewhere that said the odds of it happening at your table are something like one in forty-thousand hands or about the odds of hitting a royal flush.
I have been at a jackpot table about six or seven times in the past 8 years or so. I have never been the winner or loser in a jackpot situation.

Easy answer: not good...lol
Hard answer: It depends on a few factors. The biggest factors are: How many players are at the table? Do both hole cards have to be used? Technically it also matters on players' playing style (how often they fold preflop). This last factor is often ignored though because it can't easily be easily quantified. Without telling us these things, it's pretty difficult for us to give you a reasonable answer.

The table will have 10 players, maximum.
Both hole cards must be used in the hands.
I can't speak to the playing style, as it will differ.

There are two ways to have aces full of kings if the player must have a pocket pair -- pocket AA + AKKXY on board, or pocket KK + AAAXY on board. In both cases, neither X nor Y can be an A, and one but not both of X/Y can be a K.

Within each of those two, there are various options for suited board cards such that you'd be able to get beaten with a royal. But for each, just go through each configuration and figure out how many hands beat it. There aren't so many to make it prohibitive to do it by hand. For example:
Pocket AA, Board AKKXY:
a) if X=Y and the opponent has the other two, you lose. For the ranks you care about, that can only happen with J or Q, not A or K.
b) if X and Y are suited to either A or K and within straight range, you can lose to a straight flush
c) if X or Y are suited to A and one K and are Q/J/T, you can lose to a royal flush.
Obviously there are some overlaps in the above so you'll need to factor those out. But that's basically how to do it, assuming you're only talking about one player beating another.

Playing micros on Bovada I have had quads vs. the nut full house two times in the last month (I am guessing about 4000 hands). quad 6s vs queens full of 6s and quad 10s vs queens full of 10s. There were 3 10s on the board on the last hand. I don't know the odds, but it feels pretty lucky to me. I am not sure if Bovada has a bad beat jackpot or if the hands would qualify.

You wait an entire year for the World Series of Poker Main Event to roll around. You register. You find out that you’re on the feature table. You take your seat. “Person, woman, man, camera, TV.” I mean “lights, camera, action”.

You look down at Aces. You flop top set. You turn a boat. Chips are being shoveled into the pot. Your victim is on the hook... or so you think.

Top boat versus quads in level 1 of the Main Event - it’s a poker player’s nightmare. It was also Vanessa Selbst’s reality in 20178 when she faced off against Gaelle Baumann in one of the most famous WSOP hands of all-time.

In the latest animated strategy video from ‘The Chip Race’, Dara O’Kearney and guest analyst Daiva Byrne (@baltic_blonde) break down the hand on every street, ultimately making the case that Selbst could and should have gotten away.
