Without seeing Q-Q, K-K, or A-A atleast once?

Odds of going 500 hands without seeing one of them once?

1000?

200 - 6.5%
500 - 0.1%
1000 - 0.0001% (a little more than 1 in a million)

200: [1 - C(3,1)*C(4,2)/C(52,2)]^200 = 6.50%
500: [1 - C(3,1)*C(4,2)/C(52,2)]^500 = .1%
1000: [1- C(3,1)*C(4,2)/C(52,2)]^1000 = .0001%

Four minutes apart, that's a cross-posting. A sees the question at 11:29, thinks for five minutes, and posts the answer at 11:34. B sees the question at 11:33 with no answer posted, thinks for five minutes, and posts at 11:38.

LOL, I'm sure this was a case of:

1.) Opening the browser
2.) Seeing the question
3.) Hitting reply
4.) Getting distracted
5.) Posting an answer
6.) Moving on without returning.

In fairness, at least I provided the method to my madness!
