What are the odds of getting the EXACT same 2 hole cards 2 times in a row in texas holdem?

Posted on October 22, 2008 by admin

I was told that the chances are 1 in 6868. The cards that were dealt to me were the king of clubs – 10 of diamonds. These are likely correct?

klinkt wat juist is. Het hangt ook af van het aantal spelers in het spel dat ik denk dat (als meer spelers = minder kaarten je hebt om de kaarten uit). het kan gebeuren, en dat betekent gewoon dat de kaarten waren geschud en (anders zou je er een krijgt, en de volgende persoon zouden krijgen van de andere kaart)

For any two cards (ie. KC and TD) the odds of drawing those cards are 2/52 X 1/51 = 1/1326. This means that there are 1326 possible two card combinations that you can be dealt.

So, the odds of getting the same two cards as this hand in the next hand are 1/1326.

The odds of getting the same two specific cards in the next two hands (ie. getting KC and TD in the next two hands) are 1/1326 X 1/1326 = 1 in 1,758,276.

I hope that this helps.
