Umm, kk will find itself against aa an average of around 6 times in Full ring over around 2500 hands. So, if your talking about winning $50 on an instant lottery ticket, you're about right. (and the kk will win 1 or 2 of those hands, so it's not all that bad) (oh yeah, that just adds credence to juice factor, the aces getting busted, lol)
More importantly, there are millions of million to 1 shots, thus they happen all the time. If 1 2 3 4 5 6 ever comes up in a Lotto, people will go crazy about it, even though it has the same chance as say 4 8 15 16 23 42. (Ok, people would probably go crazy about that one too)
Personaly though, I love people that don't truly understand varience almost as much as I love those who think HoldEm is a 2 or 5 card game. |
