Default Re: What about ANY pocket pair 3 times in a row?

The chance of being dealt a pocket pair on any given hand is 1/17. The chance of being dealt a pocket pair three hands in a row is (1/17)^3, which is .0002. The chance of being dealt no pair for 100 hands in a row is (16/17)^100 which the othe guy says is .002. This seems entirely plausible, but there are no batteries in my calculator just now.
