Re: Odds of being dealt AA
Macaw Boy - First think in terms of four cards, not just two.
You can be dealt AAXY, AAAY or AAAA.
If you just want AAXY,<ul type="square">6*C(48,2)/C(52,4) = 6*1128/270725 = 0.025, or about one out of forty.[/list]
If you also want to include AAAY, add to that<ul type="square">4*48/270725 = 0.00007, or about one out of 1410. This is too small to make much of a difference.[/list]
You'll be dealt AAAA 1/270725.
Those are all probabilities of being dealt hands with more than one ace.
