Default Extreme longshot odds

Anyone entertained by calculating odds? Calculate this one and make me feel better. The following just happened to me on PokerStars:

What are the odds that in two consecutive holdem hands:
1) I get AA AND
2) I see the flop with one opponent who has two non-paired undercards AND
3) I lose both times!

the probability of this happening is exactly unity.

The probability of this happening on the next two hands is noticeably less.

I disagree

AA vs KQo is 86.18 favorite preflop

Ac Ad vs KQ hearts suited is still 82% fav

both times nonpaired undercards are a big loser preflop

If neither hit on the flop AA is about a 94.1% leader
