Thats standard, the more you play the more things you see, ive once recieved AA, 4 times in a row in a heads up.
I left school more than half a century ago but the probability of being dealt two specific cards are 52*51 or 1 in 2,652. As these two are independent, the probability of this happening is 1 in 2,652 squared or one in 6,563,644 times.

This sounds astronomical but pokerstars dealt its 200 billion hand in 2019. Most of those hands or a significant minority of them would have been hold 'em hands, so this must have happened a few times before. All the same, this is the first time it has happened to me.

The nearest I've come to this sort of thing was in a live cash game when I had AK and queens in successive hands heads-up while the other guy had aces both hands. And I dealt one of those hands, so artifice can be ruled out.

Yep, I used to have a series of screen-shots w/the same holdings on 2 different tables, some were 2 dif-sites. There's a thread on here w/them and everyone else's.
Sometimes I'll get a board on one table that coincides w/a different starting hand on the other, lol.

Here's a fine example of what I was referring to.

I've encoutered this. And many times the hand I have in a table would be the nuts in my other table and vice versa.

The more tables you play the more times it will happen.

This has happened to me several times, it's normal as long as you are playing more than 2 tables at the same time

I used to Multi Table playing a minimum of 4 Tables at once, and Yes it has Happened to me, at times. It was interesting to note that when it does Happen I usually ignore the hands as they always seem to lose, I even once got Pocket Rockets on 2 Tables at the same time. The two Black Aces on one and the two Red Aces on another, being the Suspicious person I am I folded both hands and watched as other player's won the hand's at each table.
I am not a Conspiracy Theorist, and some players might look at these situations as being "Rigged" or whatever, but Personally I just put it down to Poker being Poker, and these things happen.
Just because you get great hands Pre-Flop doesn't mean they are going to be Great after the River, Many things can happen and usually they do, when you least expect them.

This has happened to me many times, I usually play 4 tables and it's not surprising that two of them can have the same cards. But I once had a situation where a pair of aces were dealt three times in a row at one table, despite the fact that two times they were identical, I couldn't believe it at the time, but it was true.

If this has happened to me on several occasions and not only with AK, it has happened to me with other card combinations. I remember one time I had AA at two different tables and unfortunately I lost both hands

Yes and a lot, even the suite. One time I had the exactly same hand at 3 tables at the same time at different poker rooms, don't remember the cards though.
