Basically, I was dealt pocket 10's five times in a DYM tonight, four of them in a row!

I think I've had aces three times consecutively before, but pretty sure this is the first time I've had a "quadruple".

Wonder what the record is, has anyone had the same hand dealt more times in succession?

I've had aces dealt four times in twenty minutes in live play - twice in a row as well.

Of course, nobody ever had anything to play with when I did!

1/221*1/221*1/221 = 9.2*10^-8 = Roughly 1 in 10 million i think to be dealt 4 pocket pairs in a row after the initial condition of being dealt a pocket pair.

I think the most I've had is 3 in a row.

Yep, I just consider that as dodging a bullet, cos they usually hit big and bust me if they do!

Some nice maths that Ivan. Would you go as far to say it's basically a miracle?

Water into wine is a miracle...

...five pocket tens in a row is, you know, just poker

Was gonna say you were way off but checked and odds of winning the lotto. It's roughly 13m to 1 so two tickets would have made you a favourite.
