Default 3-Flush Flops

I recently starting playing on a new online poker site. While I'm a firm believer in random number generators and laugh at people who cry about 'juiced cards' at these sites - I recently saw a string of cards that just didn't seem right to me. Obviously it could have just been one of those odd strings of cards that will always come in the long run - and that simply stood out due to the fast nature of online play - but I wanted to throw it out here for some statistical ball play.

Game: Holdem
Players: 10-handed

I noticed that there seemed to be a lot 3-flush (all same suit) flops hitting during my play at this table. I therefore requested a hand history and found the following.

Hands Played: 113

3-Flush Flops: 12

My question is this...what *should* be the statiscal odds of seeing a 3-flush flop? I believe its around 1.2%. Therefore in 113 hands, on *average* I would expect to see one or two 3-flush flops.

Soo...what are the statistical odds of seeing what I saw? Is it so far out of the realm of possibility as to indicate a potential flaw in the site's logic?

If so...what do you figure this info is worth? ;-)

Thanks!
