Default Awful cards over 5.5 hours-- what are the odds?

Just returned from the Borgata $3/$6 Tables... and had a really miserable (boring) night of cards; played for 3 hours, with a break, then 2.5 hours.
My best hand: I got a pair of Jacks three times (won once, lost to aces twice)
I NEVER got a hand of AT or better (seriously)

Here's my question for the math majors out there: What are the odds of being dealt only three "Group 1 Hands" in 5.5 hours? Slantsky refers to Group 1 Hands being AA KK QQ JJ AKs. At the Borgata they claim 25 to 30 hands dealt per hour; with me playing 5.5 hours; that is about 125 hands.

Lost $180 over 5 hours. Many multiway pots. Thankfully in a sort of small way; I got no bad beats really, just a lot of laying down really.
I am interested to know what the odds are to be dealt just a few premium hands... Or am I out of line to expect a better number of premium starting hands?

Thanks--
JOHN
