Default Re: What are odds of this kind of Bad Beat Streak?

chance that in 24 trials exactly 22 times an event of prob .25 will occur is 8.82494E-12 (using the excel COMBIN function)

I hope you believe that this happened to you and then i hope u come play in my game -- this is about the chance that u r not deluding urself.

Cheers

Default Why do you care?

No offense, but what exactly are you looking to gain out of learning this number? If you write down the probability of getting that whooped like this by Lady Luck, will your local card room give you a partial refund?

And by the way, the number is a very small one. Can you now sleep better at night?
