Re: odds of getting a pocket pair 3x in a row
The probability of getting a pp is 1/17.
Before you get dealt the first hand, the probability, that the next three hands will be pps is just (1/17)^3 = (1/4913).
After you've been dealt the first pp the probability that the next two hands also will be pps is (1/17)^2 = (1/289).
If you already had two pps in a row the probability of getting a third is the probability of getting a pp i.e. 1/17.
So you expect this (three pps in a row) to occur every 4913 hands you play. Shouldn't be too rare. It just happened to me yesterday (KK,QQ,JJ, two of them were good [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).
