Well tonight I went to a friends to play Texas Hold'em Poker
No big winners , I won $2.75 or so ( Blinds were $ .05 and $ .10 )
But the thing that got me was I kept getting the same cards
In a 12 game strech ( about )
I was dealt the same Ace and 2 of Clubs , 3 times
I even won 2 of those hands :bigsmyl2:
Any guess what the odd's are for getting the same 2 cards 3 times ??

One in 32448?????
But then my math is very old and was never very good. Long odds indeed.
Time to buy a lotto ticket.

I'd buy 12 lotto tickets, if you can win with a "Ace and 2 of Clubs" :bigsmyl2:

The odds are pretty good if you're not watching the dealer's hands! Just kidding! I'm sure it was a friendly local game. But the odds of that happening are astronomical!
Now if they had been "good" hands, I would say to buy a lottery ticket. But with an ace and a 2? Not so much! :)

The true odds of getting the same two cards 3 times
are
(52x51)x3 or close to that number...
The odds of you winning with those cards in your hand are slightly higher...
