Playing Rush poker, just stopped to post this:
So far I have seen 85 hands and have been dealt the following pocket pairs:
Pocket 7's = 1 time
Pocket Aces = 2 times
Pocket 10's = 5 times
Pocket 2's = 1 time
Pocket 4's = 1 time
The odds of being dealt any pocket pair are 16/1, so you should expect to see one, on average, once in every 17 hands. So, from 85 hands it is expected that I would have seen 5 pocket pairs - I've seen 10, that's double the average.
The odds on being dealt any particular pocket pair are 220/1, so you should expect to see Aces once in every 221 hands - I picked them up twice in the space of 5 hands; seeing Aces twice in the 85 hands I've played is more than 5x the statistical probability.
Now, to pick up pocket 10's 5 times you would have expected to have been through something like 1,100 hands - so the chances of hitting them 5 times in 85 hands is 13x the statistical probability.
I think I should quit while I am ahead, as I have obviously had all my luck from the dealer and could go any number of hands before I see another.
