Why should it?

If I recall it right the odds of getting dealt specific PP (in your example AA) are about 1:220, but that does not mean you have to get it in this interval.

The random distribution is always evaluated over a virtually endless count of samples. However 800 hands are a way to small sample to figure if the card distribution is truly random.

there is a 2.35% chance for you not to have been dealt pocket aces in 827 hands.

this happens to one in 43 people.

FYT and no...it's statistically improbable, but clearly not impossible as you hold the proof.

If all 43 only see 827 hands in their poker career. If you play a lot of poker this will happen to you.

Dont feel too bad. In 1000 hands I had AA 9 times and lost (or folded) with them 8 times. I was down 52BB in those 9 hands.

The one win I had was for 1.5BB.
