Aces 3 hands running!

unknown_username

Yesterday in the 1130 bh had AA 3 hands running, which i balieve is odds of 10 million to 1ish.

But what are the odds of them being the same TWO ACES.

The 3rd on button std 3x sb bb folded:( but did win the mtt in the end.

5 minute break quick answer;

there are 1326 possible combos of 2 cards in the deck

after you have been dealt them once there is a 1/1326 chance it will come again the second time, then a 1/1326 chance again for the third time

1/1326 x 1/1326 = 1/1,758,276 chance

Thanks Gary so not that impressive lol, not euromillons odds range then

GaryQQQ

btw, it is invalid to multiply the  1/1326 number 3 times unless you name the exact two hole-cards, including suits,  before the first of the three hands is dealt.

so these odds are a crock unless i called that i would be delt AA before the cards are delt

Pocket Aces once: 4/52 x 3/51 = 1/221

Pocket Aces twice in a row: 1/221 x 1/221= 1/48,841

Pocket Aces three times in a row: 1/221 x 1/221 x 1/221 = 1/10,793,861

So approximately, 1 in 10.8 million

Those odds are correct if you ask 'what are the odds I will be dealt pocket AA in my next 3 hands?'

They are not correct if you have already had them dealt once, and you wonder if you will get them twice again.

If you dont assume that the first pair are a given then the odds are Woooooshhhh   Way up there

These odds are correct for any pair of aces,  as the origin posier asked for the odds of a specific pair of Aces then Gary's cals are correct

1/1326 x 1/1326 x 1/1326 = 1/2,331,473,976

(if you name the two suits before the first hand, divide by 6 if you do not)

Hi guys

The probability depends on how you word the q a Gary QQQ stated. I spent 20+ years teaching it and correcting students errors......

The probabililty of getting three pairs of aces in row depends on whether you mean you're assuming you have got the first pair already. Its the wording that affects the figures. The pobabilities are exact. When i taught it the hardest part for the students was understanding what they were actually looking for . The calculations weren't the problem, generally.

Yoyo's coincidence of three sets of aces in five hands would have to involve a calculation to allow for the possible orders too. It's not too difficult, just gets fiddly...

PS Funny isn't it how that 80% equity never seems enough(or is even true at times!). Must be psycological. Remembering the bad ones more etc....in DTD last night had AA cracked by QQ and then TT cracked by AA. Which will i remember more? Neither in a couple of days or so. Until then.......

Ok that's 1/1326 x 1/1326 x 1/1326

= 1 / 2,331,473,976  or 2,331,473,975 to 1 against ;o)

okies gary thanks that HUGE. and never likely to happen again?

Oddly enough it's just as unlikely to get 72os 3 hands on the trot, but that seems to occur much more frequently!

There are 2 ways you can be dealt 72os: 7 first 2 second, or 2 first 7 second therefore odds are twice as high as pocket Aces.
