Was in a SNG 10 player tournament the other day. First round or so - still 10 left. Saw AA 4x in a row on the table, 3x in a row to me....

Seat 10 gets pocket aces ...
next hand I get pocket aces..
next hand I get pocket aces...
next hand I get pocket aces....

What are the odds that I get them back to back to back? I calculated 220^3 (1 in ~10.6M). Am I correct there?

As well, what are the odds it comes up four times in a row like it did? I tried:


(10/220)^4 or 22^4 - 1 in 234,256

probably wrong on both.. just wanted to know
happened on party.. it killed me too lol
