Default Re: AA v KK v QQ at a five handed table

1 in 221 are the odds of hitting a pocket pair of a specific rank, so the odds of getting AA, KK or QQ all have 1 in 221 odds.

so the odds are 221*221*221 = 221^3

However, there are C(10,2) ways of arranging starting hands for 5 players.

so the odds are 221^3/C(10,2) = 221^3/45 = 239863.6
1 in 239863.6

(someone please correct me if i'm wrong)
