Default same cards, both tables ?

can you tell me how often, while seated at two online tables, one would receive the same rank cards at both tables -- eg 73 of indifferent suits. Assume, I guess, that each seat gets hands at the same time and rate.

every 1326 hands you'd get the exact same hand at two different tables

Default Re: same cards, both tables ?

Assume you are dealt T9 at one table. Prob of T9 at other table is (disregarding suits):

P(9 or T for first card) * P(other card of different suit)

8/52 * 4/51 = .012

Here is the probability of being dealt the same pair on both tables:

4/52 * 3/51 = .0045

You can weight the probabilities of each of these possibilities and add them up. It works out to about every 86 hands.
