Probability of winning 9 straight coinflips
I'm currently on a heater where I have won the last 9 overcard vs pocket pair gambles (me being a 45% favorite going allin preflop). Is there any way to calculate the probability of this happening?

I'm not 100% certain (in fact it is a coin flip lol) but isn't it (1/2)^9?

[/ QUOTE ] yes, that's correct!. i don't understand the wording. is 45% the favorite? unless there's a big push potential, you'd be an underdog. but yes, .45^9.... i know 50% to the 9th is 1 in 512. yours would be even longer-shot |

I assume you meant your odds of winning were 45% on each hand. The odds of it happening are 1322-1.
The odds of it happening to you are 100% |
