Default Re: what are the odds...

A better question to ask , is what's the probability I get dealt the same 2 hole cards in x amount of deals . Over a lifetime , if you've played poker long enough , you'll probably see everything happen .In 10 deals , the probability you get dealt the same hole cards back to back is :

9*1/52c2 - 9c2*1/(52c2)^2 +9c3*1/(52c2)^3 -...9c9*1/(52c2)^9 which is about 9/52c2 since the probabilities you add and subtract are negligible with only 10 deals .
