What are the odds?

[jmgambler]

Dear All,

Having read the "absolute" poker thread with interest and the whole "he must be able to see the whole cards etc" I am adding this.

I have been playing at FTP 6 max $25NL anyway the following happened this morning which surprised me and was quite an unreal run of cards ( I can post HH if anyone is REALLY interested)

The amounts won is irrelevant.......

Dealt 88, flop a set
the NEXT hand dealt 88, Flop a set
The VERY NEXT hand dealt JJ, flop is J84 ....ready for the irony?

I stack the guy and he shows ......... Yep,... 88

So what are the chances of a player being dealt a SPECIFIC pair in my case 88 and flopping a set back to back

THEN getting JJ and hitting ANOTHER Set, three pairs three sets one after another?

Or for 88 to be dealt three times and flop a set three times in row?

I must be cheating!!

in before... I don't know

Isn't FTP rigged? I thought it's been proven enough many times already

do you honestly expect anyone to answer seriously or take the time to do the math?

Since it happened, the odds are 1. Thankfully Schroedinger's cat made it safely.
