Default Re: Odds of 3 in a row?

I disagree, the answer to:

what is the
P(getting a specific hand three in a row)=(12/1326)^3

The answer to
what is the
P(getting any hand three in a row)=(12/1326)^2

you are correct that it's not noted in the mind until it happens the second time, but to answer the question objectively you have to cube, not square.
