Same exact flop in 40 hands, good one too

[syncmaster]

Did I just catch this because of what floped, or is this just not normal? I admit if a flop came 2 4 9 of the same suit 3 times in a row I might not even notice while playing my normal 4 tables. This just seemed weird.

Playing 2 tables, a 1/2nl and 2/4nl on stars. In 40 hands I see 2 flops of 7d 7c 7h, in that exact order. Once on each table. Normal?

There is a 1 in 132,600 chance of seeing any specific flop like this. Most of the time a situation like this goes unnoticed, because the repeated flop is Jc 8d 3h or whatever.

The odds of seeing the exact same flop within 40 hands is 1 in 3315. Rare, but it happens.
