Default Am I Getting My Fair Share? (Dumb Question)

I did try to search for the answer, found nothing, and decided it was because it is so ridiculously simple. The "simple" things in life often throw me. Just ask my wife. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Let's say I have 15,000 hands in my database. If there are 169 possible starting card combinations, should I have (on average) been dealt a certain pair of cards 88.75 times?

So, if it shows 40 AA or 38 KK or something similar, can I safely assume that I haven't seen my fair share of AA (or whatever) and expect it to average out in a certain number of hands.

Reminds me of Sklansky's coin flip for $1. Sure, I may lose the first 10 tries, but it will all average out in the end. So, how far is the end and when do I get my fair share? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
