So, yesterday I was bored and decided to conduct a little experiment. I shuffled the deck and drew 2 cards. I did this 100 times.
It took me 50 hands to get QQ and 73 to get AA. If you play uber tight, that's a boring session.
All toll I got about 15 playable hands.
Here's an interesting thing I also discovered. If you play any Ace you get, it could degrade your game by as much as 10%.
Add in any suited cards with that, and you're looking at a 15% leak.
Try it out, it's a fun experiment.
I've done similar things with a deck of cards when bored ... thing you need to remember though is 100 hands is way too small of a sample to be reliable.
You got QQ 1 out of 100 and you got AA 1 out of 100. Statistically you should get those hands about 1 out of 220 if your sample size is big enough.
Interesting - did you play the hands out at all and see flop turn and river
hmm...interesting...
Interesting thread, but not a reliable number for statistics. too small of a sample
i have done stuff like this too, when you are bored, cards are always good. just for the research or info.
Thanks for the information. Gotta admit, I've never been bored enough to do this, lol.
I rather play Poker than sitting and shuffle my deck and see what kind of hand I'm getting. :D
interesting thread but I don't think this can count as a statistic :) but it's good info :)
yeah i agree, your sample was too small. i have done the same thing and i only got to 175 hands and that was too small also. it takes a long time to do this and play a desent amount of hands.
curious, did you just deal the top two yourself or did you deal 8 or 9 people and see how often any players hole cards got the aces...guess it wouldn't make any difference.
lol nice but i agree with many others not quit enought hands to make it count and if u see to get qq or aa thats just luck anyways u can sit someone in front of cards and he will have 2 out of 100 and next day he will have none and next day again he will have 7
lol... I can't believe how many people have actually tried this. Someone should do 1000 hand experiment taking detailed notes on all the hand combinations/flops/turns/rivers. I'd love to hear about the results of that. Report back here tomorrow with you're findings. :P
I was keeping track of my pcts for around 30 hours of live play this past month.
aces - 4 times
kings - 9 time
queens - 7 times
oddly enough
2's - 17 times
