I wanna know the odds of getting dealt the exact same hand 2 hands in a row.
My guess is the odds is slim to none.
Been appening to me like 3 times a day and i feel its just not right.
Pretty sure one of u math wizz out there know the answer to this.

Thank you

    Their are 1326 combos of hands.

    The odds of getting dealt the EXACT same hand that you got last time on any given deal (same rank and same suits) is 1325:1 or 0.07% . Rare but bound to happen if you play a lot of hands.

    If you are just talking about the same hand, i.e. getting dealt pocket 6s 2ce in a row even if they are not the same suit, it is going to be more likely.

    The odds of getting dealt the same hand as last time not worrying about suits is 83:1 if your hand was not a pair and 221:1 if it was a pair. So 1/84 hands means it is bound to happen a lot.

    note: if you post questions like this in the forum section rather than in the blog section you are going to get more and quicker responses.

    Good luck at the tables.
