1 game sit and go 9 players maybe 6 players left.

1 hand a guy has KK another pp 5 flop drops 5 both all in of corse trip 5's win.

Next hand im delt KK pre flop raise and im lower stack. 2 callers.

Flop 3J5 I push all in. One guy calls and has pp5!!

What are the odds that 2 hands back to back its KK vs 55 and both times trip 5's hit.

The odds much be crazy. I didn't put me in tilt but seriously it was back to back hands only 6 players. CRAZY

Yes I agree that is pretty sick but I don't know the exact odds of this scenario. Maybe someone will chime in and give you a logical,mathematical opinion. Although, I don't know how you would statistically calculate that situation.

Unfortunately, it is too simplistic to look at these two events in isolation and wonder about the odds of it happening.
The odds of it happening in the next two hands that you are dealt today, are indeed very high, but if it has already happened, then the correct question should be along the lines of
'What are the odds that in a lifetime of poker hands (or at least all hands that I have seen up to this point), that I would one day notice two similar consecutive hands (although with different board cards and I am not involved in both hands)
The answer is probably - odds on

Err happens every other week to me. It really isn't that rare to have a dominated pair set up against a higher pair two times in a row....

pretty simple math, but would you care had you not lost the hand?
