What are the odds of a player drawing pocket aces two hands in a row? Woman sitting next to me last night did so.

Chance of course there is. 1 of 48,841. Think, really it or not?

  1. Odds of pocket aces once is 0.45%. Twice in a row would be 0.0045x0.0045=0.00002025 or 1 in 49382 times.

Welcome to our community.
Interesting question. In my opinion, the odds are negligible, but nevertheless this probability remains.

Never had pocket aces twice in a row but I had pocket Kings twice in a row, and played them both against the same opponent. Guy didn't know what hit him :)

I think too many are overthinking this

If the odds of getting pocket aces is 1 in 121 and I get pocket aces then the cards are all replaced for the next deal and I get another chance of 1 in 121.



Why multiply?

Why multiply?


Multiply because you want it to happen twice in a row. If you want pocket aces say twice in one tournament at any given time then you would not multiply, it would be as you said.

I had it happen to me years ago in a poker room at the local casino.

I've gotten AA back to back before a few years back. Online though. I didn't know what was going on I got like 6 premium hands 6 hands in a row. I wish this would happen more often.

Twice in a row would give some liberty to start two threads on how they got cracked and how they never win with them.
