10 seat table. 3 out of the first 7 hands I get QQ.

Sorry I'm no good at making the calculations but I have one more. This happened a long time ago. I'm holding 33 and the flop comes three under cards 222.

Since "the deck" is reshuffled before each deal, the odds on getting QQ after getting QQ are exactly the same as getting QQ after getting 72os or as when sitting down and first hand getting QQ.... 220:1

The "deck" doesn't "remember" what happened before.

the odds of flopping 222 is the same as the odds of drwaing three red marbles in a row out of a bag that contains 48 blue marbles and 4 red onse:

4/52*3/51*2/50 so you would expect to see a flop of 222 about once every 5,525 "flops"

Odds of QQ is .0045 so not getting QQ is .9955.

The odds are (7!/3!*4!)*.0045^3*.9955^4 = 3.1*10^-6

Someone correct me if i messed up somewhere. I usually do.

Come on guys...the odds of getting the same three starting hands in a row have to be astranomical !!!!!!
