Freakish occurances online, but they were all good!, SendMoney, 30. Sep 2003 11:31

I've been playing the 25cent/50cent and 50cent/1dollar games of Limit Hold Em games at Pokerstars a lot recently, and I've had a couple statistical annomalies occur:

1. Playing two tables I get AA Pocket Aces at both tables at the exact same time. Both bullets held up and won nice sized pots. If AA is 221 to 1 then if my math is right this is a 48,841 to 1 occurance.

2. Get dealt 1010 Pocket 10s on consecutive blinds, once in the BB, once in the SB....that's odd enough, now the good part, both times the flop comes 10 high for a set of 10s (one flop was 10 4 4), and both times the sets held up to win nice pots...The hand after that I get 56s on the button and the flop comes 6 5 2 rainbow, I won a nice pot on that one too.

It's nice when you're running a few standard deviations to the good.

Hi SendMoney

Yes, both things you state are unusual...I have gotten AA at the same time in two games also...Although they both lost :-(! ...I have also flopped nut-full in two games at the same time (They both won)....Unusual things are bound to occur....What is the chance of any two events happening? You remember the ones that count for something.
