Default Missed set futility

Was curious what peoples longest streaks without flopping a set with a pocket pair were. Just went through 25 straight with no set and wondered how bad I had it.

25 is not bad at all. If you started counting right now, there is approx a 6% chance that you will miss your next 25 pocket pairs. (8.5/9.5)^25 ~ 0.062

Well, Im at 52 for the day. By your math, thats about 1:323

I did flop quad Aces, I guess the poker gods are counting that against me. But that one pot doesnt realy make up for the 7 sets I should have had.
