However, when you look at the odds of drawing AA 2 times in a row, then you are looking at a single event, that event being AA coming up 2 times in a row, and the odds of that is 1/221 times 1/221, or 1/48841. If you want to look at the single event of AA coming up 3 times in a row, the it is 1/10,793,861,
perfectly put
if the you are talkin two events of the same probability,
then its just
[odds of the event happening]^[how many times the event happens in a row]
