I play an online free poker game from time to time. I usually play the Omaha variant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omaha_hold_'em
The probabilities are here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_probability_(Omaha)
Some weeks back I had 4 of a kind in three consecutive hands. Today I saw three consecutive hands of 4 of a kind but with different players.
So if the probability of getting that once is 20,824 : 1 what's the odds of getting it three times in a row? I realise each time it is 20824 : 1 but there must be a much bigger figure of consecutive ones.
