Default Re: What about ANY pocket pair 3 times in a row?

I calculated the odds of not getting a pocket pair in 100 hands as 0.2% as follows

you have a 6% chance of getting a pocket pair so have a 94% chance of not getting a pocket pair, not getting a pocket pair two hands in a row is 94% * 94% or 88%, for n hands the answer is .94^n or for 100 hands 0.94^100 which roughly 0.002 or 0.2%.

this seems a little low to me, are my calculations correct?
