I sent pokerstars my hand history where I got AQ 3 hands in a row and this was their reply to what the odds were..
Hello Todd,
Thank you for your email.
The odds of getting AQ in any one hand is about 82 to 1. So the odds
of
being dealt AQ on your next three hands is about 248 to 1.
I would rather take my chances with the AQ than the lightning!

The 82 to 1 is right. That is C(52,2)/16 - 1 = 1326/16 - 1 =~ 81.9 to 1. For AQ 3 hands in a row it should be (1326/16)^3 - 1 or about 569,207 to 1.
This is great news. Offer them a sidebet where you pay them a generous 1000 to 1 for 3 AQs in a row.

Ya I figured it would be 82 x 82 x82... I think he added them (and then added wrong!) IM gonna send him the sidebet I'll post his reply!
