Check these sit and go hands out

Out of the 29 hands I saw before I got knocked out were..
8 Pocket Pairs, 2 of the 8 was AA and KK,
Of the remaining 6.. 4 of them were 99's, 77's, 55's and 33's.

The other 2 were Pocket 10's that were dealt to the same player in back to back hands
Those 2 hands he was up again in the 1st hand A,Q
2nd hand he was against A,K

Now A,K was dealt out 4 times
Out of the 4 times one hand had an all in which was A,K vs A,K vs A,10

A,Q had show up 2 times but was an all in vs 33's
K,Q was dealt once
A,J 3 times
A,J vs AA's all in

This is all the hands I could see, the rest is unknown for whom known what was folded.

So all in all you have
8 Pocket Pairs AA's, KK's, 10's(2), 99's, 77's, 33's
4 A,K's
2 A,Q
3 A,J
1 K,Q

This is a single table mind you and when the flop was shown an ace hit 6 times on the flop. Now just for giggles and rounding up the total hands dealt and seen by me to 30. That means it is 1 in 5 hands that an ace came on the flop.. 20% of the time.

Now anybody tell me that then seen this in real life.

I played in a live charity MTT Saturday night, and here are some things I saw:

AT vs 88 vs AK all-in preflop, flop has a 10, king spikes on the river.

AT vs AK all-in preflop, flop has a 10, AK guy hits runner runner for a straight.

Final table, 3 people. UTG bets, SB goes all in, BB goes all in. Both SB + BB flip over pocket aces and split.

UTG raises all in, mid position goes all in, BB goes all in. JJ vs KK vs AA, ace spikes on the turn for the win.

Heads up final table. SB calls with J9off, BB holds 74off. Flop comes K94. Both check. Turn is a 7 giving BB 2 pair, he checks, SB bets, BB goes all in and SB calls. River is a king, counterfeits the BB's 2 pair and SB wins the tourney.

Seen a player get AA 3X times in a row last Wednesday in a live tournament, he got all in PF on all 3. Vs AK/AQ and 99. He won all three hands.

There are 3 cards in each flop. There are only 13 different ranks of cards. For an ace to come on the flop 1 out of 5 times over the course of 29 hands is really not all that unusual...

What??!? Impossible. Aces never hold up!

Your chances of getting AA three times in a row (for each time you get AA) are 1 in 48,841. Lucky guy!

Or just a good shuffle

Live Charity Poker events are rigged. I'd sooner play online at Party Poker.

that true? as I did it in a $1 sit and go this morning online. I was moaning in chat about 10 minutes before about not getting pocket pairs, then that happens, no lie. I isolated each time, by luck more than skill, and won all 3 times. Maybe I'll go check my lottery numbers now, with that kind of luck.

Thats the odds for any named pocket pair (220/1) twice in a row.

Three times is 221*221*221 = 10,793,860/1!!!

That would be for any three given hands. E.g. if you sit down and say "what's my chances of my first three hands being AA", then it's that number. However because you only start counting the number of hands in a row when you actually get the first AA, the first AA of the three is a "given" with a probability of 1 rather than 1/221.

Sorry Bombjack, I must have mis-understood your original post!
