This is amazing, I havent gotten pocket aces in 3 weeks and 6 days of playing consistently an average of 2 hours a day or so. 876 hands without pockets aces, during this span ive gotten pocket 10s 17 times though and queen 8 46 times. Seems like a statistical impossibility that after 876 hands i havent gotten pockets aces.

Its because online poker is rigged!!!! LOL

Nope, the probability is (220/221)^876 which corresponds to just less than a 2% chance of this feat happening. Its the 17 pocket 10s which is more amazing!

Unfortunately two+two hasn't added the "I need a hug" forums... otherwise this would fit perfectly. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I think only 876 hands in 3 weeks of play is much less likely. I played almost twice that many hands before 9am this morning /images/graemlins/tongue.gif /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

54 hours of poker online and you have only played 876 hands..whatever happened to people averaging over 250+ an hour.

Moreover, there is a 22% chance that you won't get any of some pair, Aces are no more or less likely than anything else.

I agree that the other statistics in the post sound strange.

well i dont multitable and i probably played only about 35 hours but i polay highstakes hands go slower. By the way i still havent found the aces 134 hands later.
