trips flops twice in a row
 
last night in a live game the flop came KKK twice in a row. regardless of suit, what's are the odds against this happening?

Re: trips flops twice in a row
 
((4/52)*(3/51)*(2/50))^2 for just kings
(52/52)*(3/51)*(2/50)*(4/52)*(3/51)*(2/50) for the same trips ignoring suit twice in a row
((3/51)*(2/50))^2 for any trips on consecutive hands

For K-K-K to flop twice in a row, knowing none of the cards:

[C(4,3)/C(52,3)]^2 = .00000327% or 30,525,624 to 1

If it's already flopped once, the odds of it happening on the next hand are:

C(4,3)/C(52,3) or ~.0181% or 5524 to 1.

Actually, it's calc.exe. Try to be correct when you're trying to be witty.
