KK, KK, AA, QQ. I'll update if the freakiness continues. Is this where I ask jojo what the odds were of getting these hands all in a row? |
Kind of depends -
The odds of getting a PP is around 17:1, a specific pocket pair (like how often you see AA) is ~ 221 :1
for an ordered event, you multiply the calculations, like "how often would I get back to back aces" would be 221*221 or aroung 50K:1 odds.
To get those 4 specific hands in a row is like 2billion to one. But, this is somewhat similar to any specific pair (like getting 33,44,55,66 in a row).
To get pairs 4 times in a row is like 80K:1 (non specific pairs).
To look at - say, "what are the odds I get 4 pairs in a row TT and up" would be somewhere in between and is just too much math for me to care about right now
