    Just that post about the 1 billionth hand for Pokerstars got me thinking.

    Pokerstars was registered in 2001, that makes them 4 years old. thats
    126144000 seconds.

    That means its dealt 7.29 hands-a-second on average for 4 years. Which makes for a 1:100 out draw, every 13 seconds on average. You cant *find* a hand preflop that 1:100 with any other hand. The worst is 6:100.

    It means that on average a 1:2500 out-draw happens every 5 minutes to someone somewhere.

    Thats an *awful* lot of bad beats stories!
