Default Re: I had the same hand dealt to me twice in a row...

It's only like 1300+ to 1. You were dealt 92; the chances of 92 (same suits) coming next hand are (2/52)*(1/51).

It would be 1M+ to 1 to be dealt the same hand twice in a row if you named the hand before it was dealt to you the first time, i.e., before the first deal you wagered you'd be dealt 92 (same suit) twice in a row, then you'd need some pretty astronomical odds to make your wager. Once a hand is dealt, you only need exceptional odds to wager that it will come again next hand.
