trips flops twice in a row

dude - the sarcasm meter a bit broken today?

only a man with his head up his mathematical, well, ahem, would, on seeing a trillion to one event, shrug and equate it with the probability of finding two legs on a biped.

here's one you could maybe answer: what are the odds of being dealt KK twice in succession, and being beaten by AA twice in that succession?

Unless there's an error in my thinking:

[C(4,2)/C(52,2) * [9 * 6/C(50,2) - C(9,2)/C(50,4)] * .819461] ^ 2

~.00000265% or about 37,696,253.7 to 1.

thanks.

i had that happen to me last week. i went immediately to my nearest roulette wheel and gaped.
