| Changes of getting pocket A's in any one hand is 1::221. Chance of getting them in two successive hands is 1::48,841. | ||

| True, however, it is important to note that you will get AA many, many, many times in your life. On any one hand you have the 1:48K chance that the next hand and the one after will be AA, but look at it this way. If you play full time pro hold'em and put in a 40 hour work week you're working 2000 hours a year - the standard work year. If you're getting 30 hands an your that's 60,000 hands, so then in a given year you should see back to back aces about once. So far my freakiest aces experience has been 6 AA in one and a half hours, all six of which held up. I can't begin to calculate the precise odds of that happening. | ||

| During this years WSOP I watched Annie Duke get AA 3x in a row - and there was a dealer change and deck change after the second time. 10.8 million to 1. | ||

| Unreal, I have a weird little story, when I first started playing live (at least 3x a week) it took me more than two months to catch AA, but the very first time I did I caught 3 AA's in 6 hands... AA, AA, three blanks, then AA again... it was unreal | ||

| I have no pocket aces stories, but a crazy weird thing happened to me just last night while I was playing a sit n go. I got dealt back to back 99, and won both hands with four of a kind 9999. I wonder what are the odds of THAT happening back to back? (I won the sit n go, by the way) | ||

| I wouldn't be surprised if there were 10.8 million people playing hold'em in a given day around the world. So somewhere in the world right now somebody is on their third AA in a row. | ||
