Default Re: The most improbable thing you\'ve ever seen?

I was dealt 77, 88, 77 in a row the other day. Odds of this aren't astronomical, but not that common.

Funny thing was I flopped sets with all of them. Anyone guess the odds of that?

Odds of getting a pocket pair = 1/17
Odds of flopping a set, assuming you see a flop 100% of the time with a pocket pair = (1-(48/50)(47/49)(46/48)) ~= 2/17

So, 8/17^6 ~= 1/3,017,196
