What\'s the odds?
Let's see if any of you probability gurus can figure the odds on this one. Playing online hold'em I was just dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] two hands in a row. I'm no good at figuring probabilities, but I think that this one works out at 48,400 to 1 just to get any two K's twice in a row. To get the same two K's twice in a row must be astronomical.

Re: What\'s the odds?
If you said "Gee, I wonder what the odds are that I get kings the next hand and the hand after that" then your odds are correct. But if you get KK and say "gee I wonder what the odds are that I get kings the next hand" then its just 221-1, not that spectacular. If you want the same exact cards the odds are one in 1326.

Re: What\'s the odds?
The odds of getting exactly the KC and KS twice is 1326 squared=1,758,276 to 1.

Re: What\'s the odds?
No clue. All I know is that the chance of being dealt KK is 0.90%.

Re: What\'s the odds?
now you have me interested....
In this years WSOP is was dealt exactly the Ad,Qd on the very first two hands. (Not related, I was eliminated a day and a half later with those same two cards) I was of the impression that each new deal, the probability of two specific cards was the same as on the previous deal. Obviously no math guy, so which is it: 1326 or 1326 squared?

Re: What\'s the odds?
depends how you look at it: the odds of getting the same hand twice the first 2 hands are 1 in 1326. notice that this means you could have ANY 2 cards the first hand, so long as the second hand matches the first one.
if you want a specific hand twice in a row, then it's (1/1326)^2

Re: What\'s the odds?
Here's the thing: the odds of a hand duplicating the previous hand are 1/1326, but you're only going to notice it when it happens.
say you play 100 hands. the odds that you at some point duplicate consecutive hands are about 7%. say you play 200 hands. then it's about 14% 500 hands: 31% 1000 hands: 53% 1000 hands only about 12 hands a day for a month, so if you play much at all it's not all that surprising that it happens occasionally.

Re: What\'s the odds?
I thought the odds of getting any specific pocket pair is 220:1. if that is true then getting KK once, is not a .9% chance, it is a .45% chance. or am i missing something.
