Default Probability of loosing 3 straight coinflip or better situations

Down to heads up i have 8150 and Villian has 1850 at a 50+5. I get A 10 and Villian pushes i call he has q10 and hits a queen. Now i have 6300 and he has 3700. I get A6 and he moves in again i call and he has K3 hits a 3 on me. Now he has 7400 to my 2600 i then get AQ and move in he calls with A 10 and hits his 10. What are the odds? PS im not complaining i had a great session just curious to know the prob of that happening.

Default Re: Probability of loosing 3 straight coinflip or better situations

Someone will come along with an exact answer, but to give you some sort of a quick guess, I'd say your opponent had a 25% chance of winning twice, and a 40% chance of winning the other time. So that would be somewhere around 2.5% of winning all three hands.

(.25)(.25)(.4) = .025

But like I said, that's extremely rough - I don't have a chance to figure out the exact odds of each hand at the moment, sorry. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Assuming you both held those hands preflop...you'll lose all three roughly 2.7% of the time or about 36-to-1 against.
