My simple desk calculator can't handle the math.

the guy is probably exaggerating. It probably felt like it was 23 times in a row.

That being said, I've stopped negating believing things in poker just because they're statistical unlikely. What are the odds (in Omaha) of losing with a boat to quads twice in the same night, at a full ring table to THE SAME PLAYER? Happened to me one night. I'm sure its some crazy number and figuring out the number will serve me no purpose except to reinforce what a bad night that was.

Which still doesn't stop it from happening 23 times in a row.
