Flop straight two hands in a row

[Aneubis]

Just curious if anybody knows what the probability that you flop a straight two hands in a row. A2 flop was 3,4,5 the next hand J8 flop was 7,9,10. Got bounced out of a tournament against those two in row hands.

I'd say that these are totally independent events, and that once the first straight has fallen, the probability of the second hitting is the same as the probability of one hitting in the first place, or .0039246468 (from durangobill.com)

Of course this would have to be altered somewhat for the number of active players in the hand.

The probability of doing it in 2 successive hands would be this number to the 2nd power, I would think.

Cool, thanks!!

And that assumes you'd always see the flop with any 2 cards that could be part of a straight. A2 and J8? Hmm. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
