Default Re: Math Help (No-Limit)



Ray,


Thanks for the correction. But, it does appear to be not likely. In my gambling endevors I've noticed some strange things happen. I'm not refering to probabilities here, but the behavior of random events.


For example, I'll observer a player gets a pair of aces once during a tournament and never again. Then I'll see someone get them back-to-back and then not get a decent hand for over an hour.


What's the answer to this question. If UTG gets a pair of aces and then gets them again UTG what are the odds of that event occuring within 10 hands dealt? I know proability says it is a 220 to 1 shot to get a pair of aces.


Last question, what are the odds of being dealt a pair of aces back-to-back?


Help me! I need to figure out why these things occur.
