woah :)

Just two-tabling paradise poker in limit holdem, when suddenly I was dealt AA clubs and diamonds on _both_ tables at the same time.

I smelled money.

Anyone ever been dealt exactly the same cards like that before?

Cianos

I know I have said this many a time, but once I got dealt AA three times in a row on the same table!! Also happened with the cowboys

bmc

wow.

That was a bit unlikely.

Lex

Got dealt Qs,Jh on two NL cash talbes once on Ladbrokes alright.
What was freaky was that the first card dealt on each talbe was the Qspades then the J on top of both!!
Not as nice as AA twice tho!

The Gecko

Not great at the odds. But presuming the deck is shuffeled and the same amount of players are at the table. Arent the actual odds of getting AA the same every time?

In hold em poker, what are the odds of being dealt pocket aces? And what are the odds of being dealt pocket aces twice in a row?

There are 52*51/2 = 1326 ways to arrange 2 cards out of 52. There are 4*3/2=6 ways to arrange 2 aces out of 4. So the answer is 6/1326 = 1/221. The probability of this happening twice in a row is (1/221)2 = 1 in 48,841.

The odds for 3 times in a row must be in the hundreds of millions!!!

4-tabling Omaha on Party, on three of the table I get dealt AAxx, I win $1 in total

Just worked it out...odds of same two pair 3 times in a row are 1 in 10,793,861

At the WSOP $1k event I got dealt pocket jacks 7 times.

Out of those 7 times, I was dealt JJ twice in a row 3 times and won with them each time.

What's your nick on Party and what limit are you playing? I'm busy playing the 50NL shorthand tables whenever I get a chance. There's some guys that are always there who must have unlimited finances!

I find this hard to belive I seem to get dealt 72o for hours on end!

Dr_Colossus

I got AhAc on two NL cash game tables at the same time on PS before. Played both hands hard raising preflop and on the flop but lost with both of them to a flopped two pair and rivered flush.

Someone posted here a while back about being dealt AA on two tables at the same time AND flopping the set with both as well. I think it was Iago???

OCallagh I think, he had the screen image as well

Thats some fine math Scotty; but I still stand over my statement the "odds" on two aces being delt to you from a shuffeled deck are the same every time (So the answer is 6/1326 = 1/221).

The probability of it happening twice or three times is a diffrant matter which you have clarified with you figures.

But just to confuse things if you play a hand of TH and get pocket rockets - go all in and lose to 34o and smash your PC to smitherins and dont play poker for 12 months whats the odds on getting poket aces when you first sit down at a table is it 1/221 or 1 in 48,841 ????????????????????????????????

breadmonkey

I agree with the Gecko.

Each new hand is independent of all other hands. The cards have no memory. Threrefore, the probability of being dealt rockets is the same each time (assuming they have been *shuffled*). Though there could be some debate over the suffle.

bmc

Lads, lads, lads...

The odds of you getting Aces on the next hand are 1/221.


The odds of you getting Aces on any ONE hand is 1/221.

If you have already had a pair of aces the odds for the next hand are 1/221.

But if you wonder about the next two hands to come the odds of them both being aces is 1/(221 * 221)

breadmonkey

I'm not so sure about that but I'm not gonna dig myself in any deeper and look like a FOOL!

So are all the admins playing poker these days? Dev is, Ecksor's posted on Poker recently and now Regi has caught the gamble...

Everyone is playing poker these days. The weirdest new phenomenon for me is sitting on the dart whilst listening to strangers talking about how they played a particular hand. It's really annoying because I have to restrain myself from jumping in and calling them fishes.

regi

I just wanted to see what the fuss was all about. Didn't take long for its evil neon claws to grasp me.

Here's my analysis: if you are playing at two tables, and you already have two cards at one:
The chance of getting the exact same cards at another are 1/52 * 1/51 = 1 / 2652
If you don't care that they are in the same order: 1 / 1326

Thats if each table is exactly in sync, so the odds are probably shorter if the two hands overlap by more.

The chances of them one set of cards being Aces is 1/221 so the odds of being dealt the same two aces at both tables is 1/221 * 1 / 1326 (being forgiving) = 1 / 1,758,276

Of course I could be talking out my ass here.

I got dealt AA 2 hands in a row in a Fitz tournament about a year ago. The first time I hit quads on the flop, the second trips on the flop. Won feck all money from it mind but was mad I though.

cant fault that maths.
Lots of people asking lots of different questions, remember that probability is time sensitive. Asking what the odds of getting dealt two hands of pocket Aces will vary from 1: 221^2 , to 1:221 to 1:1 depending on the time frame you choose to ask the question

The odds of me getting AA two hands in a row are FECK ALL. Thats 100%.
