Re: 7 pocket rockets, 1 game
A chance to get AA is p = 4/52 * 3/51
To get it 5 times out of 7 is P = p^5 * (1-p)^(7-5) * C(7,5) = 1 in 17,059,632,174 times |

I would say the odds that 1) someone is cheating or 2) someone doesn't know how to shuffle are about 50% the other 50% is that your post is BS.

Whether it happened or not is irrelevant. There's a mathematical proof that dictates you cannot be a winning player if you use the phrase "pocket rockets".

Re: 7 pocket rockets, 1 game
"Whether it happened or not is irrelevant"
Agreed. My point is that you need to take into account the following factors in the matematical calculation. 1) someone is cheating 2) someone doesn't know how to shuffle 3) the post is BS. Now had the OP siad: What are the odds of getting AA 5 out of 7 hands? The above factors wouldn't be relevant. " There's a mathematical proof that dictates you cannot be a winning player if you use the phrase "pocket rockets"". By the way I din't use phrase "pocket rockets" was that at the OP? |

Refer to subject. It's quite possibly the most irritating phrase I can imagine. The thought of saying it and/or typing it makes my skin crawl.

No jokes or BS. we rotate deal and every hand is shuffled and cut. the players are very picky about it, especially after the first two AAs.
