Probability of Poker Hands.

I heard its a 1 in 221 chance of getting Pocket Aces.

A couple weeks ago I got Pocket Aces 3 times out of 4 hands. Not in a row but AA - AA - another hand - AA

Is this the element of luck in Poker I suppose?

Anyone else notice any really cool lucky streaks like this?

I wonder how much Luck comes into play with big tournament wins & how common it is for some players to just be considerably more lucky then others.

Getting a pair of aces in 3 out of 4 hands is really incredible luck, but it's just a small segment of your game, which, apparently, cannot affect the game or even a single tournament in any way!!! Personally, I do not remember that I had pocket aces three times in a row, but I have already seen this in the game !!!

As poker is a game where luck is involved, strange things will often happen.

What you described is very rare, I think so! On the other hand, I think you didn't do anything with those strong hands if the others at the table were only given weak hands and they didn't move on

I have played several times with poker of aces and also another poker. I think it is not that difficult to see such cards on the tables of this beautiful game.

I once played a tournament where luck was really on my side, in two hours of play I won 35 hands. Every card I came in with was a win. So I'm not surprised by a good card repeated several times in a row.

These days ago I was playing in an autumn league tournament on Replay Poker, and I received AK four times, three times in a row and I didn't win the hand, and in the last hand I received AK I left the tournament.

In my case I would say that I was not very lucky.

You can get aces or kings or whatever times in a row, but if no one plays with you they are useless....

About 3 weeks ago, I played our beautiful CC tournament, I won every hand I got involved through the FT, some I just tied. after FT I won 1 hand and left 7th place.

Maybe you're overestimating AK, isn't it?

At least You stole the blinds, better than lose for 23 off suited on the BB, when the flop comes 222, and you starting bet value your aces.

I can say if a strong player is given such a hand 3 times, he will turn this advantage into X10 times, and if you give the same hand 3 times to the average player, he will still lose everything he was given for luck, especially this does not mean that the player with this card will win a large amount of chips, it still needs to be played correctly but this combination is very difficult to get since the chances are generally small personally I did not collect such a hand 3 times but I saw this hand 2 times in a row and myself I ran into this hand and lost, it was very painful to see this 2 times screenshots are on the forum

I watched this hand about 10 minutes ago. I think the comments do not make sense) I just do not believe in such a miracle.

Há algumas semanas, recebi o Pocket Aces três vezes em quatro mãos. Não em linha, mas AA - AA - outra mão - AA

É este o elemento de sorte no Poker, suponho?

Alguém mais notou alguma série de sorte muito legal como essa?

Eu me pergunto o quanto a sorte entra em jogo com grandes vitórias em torneios e como é como é que some jogadores tenham uma sorte consideravelmente maior que outros.

I got it 3 times in a row. I managed to extract in 2 of these 3.

Luck will balance out in the long run. It's best just to focus on the moment... & making the right decisions. The rest is out of our control and no sense in wasting much thought on it. (imo)

Wow that is extremely lucky. That is something that will never happen for people that play poker their entire life

The luck factor in a poker tournament with 1K+ players can be significant due to the large field size and the inherent variance in the game. Luck plays a role in individual hands, the distribution of cards, and the timing of key confrontations with opponents. However, it's important to note that skill also plays a crucial role in the long run.

In the early stages of the tournament, luck tends to have a more pronounced impact as players are deep-stacked and have more room for maneuvering. A few unlucky hands can significantly impact a player's chip stack and put them at a disadvantage.

As the tournament progresses and the field size decreases, skill becomes increasingly important. Skilled players are more likely to make correct decisions, apply effective strategies, and exploit their opponents' weaknesses. They can navigate through tricky situations, manage their chip stack effectively, and make profitable moves.

While luck can influence the outcome of individual hands or even short-term results, skillful play and consistent decision-making over the course of the tournament are more likely to determine long-term success. Skilled players are better equipped to capitalize on favorable situations and mitigate the impact of unlucky moments.

Ultimately, poker is a game that combines luck and skill. While luck can certainly affect short-term results and individual hands, skilled players have a higher probability of achieving success over the long run by consistently making optimal decisions and utilizing their knowledge and experience to their advantage.

I recently had AA twice in a row.
in the 1st hand they all folded. In the 2nd hand I was lucky to find someone with KK and the showdown favored me.

Yes. I love it when I get little sprints of premium starting hands. I think my personal record for consecutive aces is 4. I think I was given KK 3 times in a row, then AK, and then KK again. It's been a while back since that happened.

In a 3 week span I had Aces back to back hand twice in our local casino. The 1st time I was called by the same player both times and he had AQo both times. It is funny how these things happen.

I once got AK 3 times in a row. this is also a rarity for poker

AA’s 3 out of 4 hands? Wow that must have been fun to play!! I hope you took down some stacks!

Don't believe thats luck, it's probabilities, and since all odds tend to normalize, expect compensation after those big "lucky" hits, try not to loose much money when it happens, because it will happen.
