Death by QQ

[naphand]

Running unbelievably bad last 20K. So much so today I decided to drop to $2/$4 and relax and try to have some fun. It made no difference... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

At least I know it's not me.

Today successive QQ hands got turned over in the same horrible way, I congratulte myself on the fold in the first. Anyone care to calculate the odds of this occuring in successive hands like this? My estimate is something like 1/330 for each, making some astronomical chance for 2 running.

Enjoy!
