I think this happens so often that you may not even be surprised it's just that apparently you haven't been dealt enough, but in the future you will see the same cards more often if you play several tables, you will often be dealt the same cards that you have on the other table the same thing on the other table

That's why I don't like to play Hyper-Turbo mtt's. You will always find a lot of maniacs and crazy people. As in this structure playing tight is not a option, the player is forced to go all in a lot. The bad beats are just waiting a chance to put you out of the game...

What I also like is that I would usually have a beast hand if I could have the flop from the other tournament I'm playing in 😀

The probability of being dealt two equal hands in a row in Texas Hold'em depends on the number of players at the table and the number of decks used in the game.

For a standard game of Texas Hold'em with nine players and a deck of 52 cards, the probability of being dealt the exact same hand twice in a row is about 1 in 16,000. The formula to calculate this probability is:

P = (1/C(n,2)) * (1/1326)

Where P is the probability of being dealt the same hand twice in a row, C(n,2) is the number of possible combinations of two poker hands among n players (in this case, 9 players), and 1/1326 is the probability of receive any specific hand (there are 1326 possible two-card combinations in a standard 52-card deck).

Replacing the values:

P = (1/C(9,2)) * (1/1326) P = (1/36) * (1/1326) P = 0.00000226

Therefore, the probability of being dealt two equal hands in a row in Texas Hold'em is approximately 0.000226%.

I get that all the time on PS, even in the same position
What? Except for this ^ time when you show us a picture of two hands that are NOT identical? OP was talking about 2 'identical' hands.

It also happened to me that the two tables were dealt the same card.

One in a million! 2 hands... 2 identical hands
In such cases, I think the random number generator has broken 😂😂. Once I three times in a row fell a pair of eights 88 at the same table, and each time these eight were of the same suit. 😱
