Re: Back to back pocket AA
 

I thought that they were consecutive, but you are entirely right, it could have been edited to look as though they were back to back. It made for a good post thought [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hi Dachord-

Looks like your real question has already been answered, but I want to point out it's highly unlikely that the AA hands were really back to back. It's more likely that ESNP edited out some hands in between (they do this anyway.) Are you certain they were consecutive?

Re: Back to back pocket AA(NC) anecdote
 

Stuff like this happens.

I'm sure a lot of us have stories like this.

I had pocket aces back to back, once, in an online MTT. The same player, who was calling me down with crap rivered me twice in a row, taking me from table leader (and 10th or 12th in the tourney) to being gone in about a minute and a half.

That's poker, shuffle and deal.

Anyone want to calculate the odds?

Re: Back to back pocket AA
 

I've gotten pocket AA back to back before, I've played like maybe 60K to 70K hands online + another several thousand live.

You expect for this to happen once every 50K hands. Some will have more times, some will have none, but the expected is once.

Re: Back to back pocket AA
 

i see 13 posts here and the first 7 i checked didnt have the answer, so if its already in here somewhere i apologize:

you want the probability of getting AA (220:1) squared, which is 48,840 to 1.
