Does anyone have any idea what the odds are of someone winning 3 straight hands with the same straight?

Hi,
welcome to cardschat.
The answer to your question: very very small

First: For five card stud, which is a simpler problem, I submit to you the answer is 5.70 X 10^(-20) to three significant digits.
Second: For seven card stud, or probably of more interest to you,Texas Holdem, I submit to you the answer is 5.28 X 10^(-16) to three significant digits. Now, you did say the same straight, which is an important qualifier. I took the easy route and made the assumption that you meant exactly the same cards in the straight, as I am a little tired tonight.
Final Note: My calculations do not take into account the possibility of the straight being beaten by a better hand.

woh!

That must be very small indeed I would be interested to know where this happened.

Although I have seen some quite surprising hands play out in my travels.

Good luck at the tables!

the odds are very low but not impossible, I confess that I lost 3 hands follow by color, after that fold every time I see a possible color on the flop
