    Default What are the Odds?

    Ok so I know we got some math wiz’s here. Last night I was dealt KK 3 times within 200 hands. All three times I was up against AA. 9 player table at Bodog. Now I know the odds for it happening once is around 21to1. But 3 times in a row. If anybody knows please tell me?
    And than to add some flavor to the sauce I got kings again. And my Opponent flopped quads. LOVE THIS GAME.

    The odds of being dealt AA 5, 6 or 7 times in any 7 specific hands are:
    0.000000003953%

    It would happen to a specific individual, once in roughly 25.3 billion hands played.

    Math available upon request.

    Ok, gladly.

    My weirdest was I got dealt AA three times in roughly 20 hands at one table. Every time I reraised the same better and was called. Every time the flop came Jxx. Two times he destacked me with JJ. The third time I folded to his three bet and he showed JJ again. Bastard guy...

    i was chip leader in a guarnetee mtt on prima and got dealt a coupla good hands in 7 hands while the guy behind me got AA 5ive of those seven times. It was when i was rather newb but still i coudlnt believe he turned that over.
    Beyond that i think ive personally had AA and then KK back to back but thats nothing magical

    I made two royal flushes in an hour's time quadtabling on party ring. One flopped, and one turned.

    Oh ya and in between those hands I got stacked holding the ace high flush against a two card str8 flush.

    Anyone got some math for THAT?

    1. I've had aces 3 hands in a row. (sadly folds all round)

    2. Yesterday I flopped the nut flush, then lost my stack to a guy that had flopped a straight flush. Both with 2 holecards.

    3. And today my 99 hit a set twice on the flop and twice I got stacked by a flopped overset (KK and QQ), this happened within 5 minutes.


    Lemme do odds:

    1. 0.000000097% chance that any 3 consecutive hands are aces.
    2. Assuming a suited flop of 346 with AKs in hand for the nut flush, odds to face a straight flush are 0.000925%
    3. Assuming preflop 99 vs higher pp, and hitting a set on the flop means the probability of facing an overset is 0.249%. For this to happen twice in a row the chance is 0.062%
