Something different?

Funny thing I saw today on Poker Room. I've been involved in a few hands over my poker life. I can't EVER remember seeing this before. Two pocket AAs in the same hand. I don't know what the odds are, but it has to be way way out there. It hit me after the hand, that I've never seen it happen before.

Anyone seen it, twice?

Seen it tons of times actually. I've lost with AA to AA twice, and won once.

Yup. I've actually seen it in the 2nd hand in of a live tournament.

I've had it live once and online three times. I split the live hand, it was LHE heads up. I won 1 online hand w/ a flush and split the other 2. One time I had been bullying a table when some guy raised my SB in late position. I got AA and pushed, BB folded, late position guy typed "lol homo" and called....we split but he was praying for a non-club on the river...6 hands later I stacked him...."who is the homo now?"

It's late so odds are I'm doing my math totally wrong, I won't even put my calculations in here for fear of ridicule. But the way I figure it, it should happen to you personally once in about every 139 times you have AA, and at a given table AA should run into AA once approximately every 3100 hands. If I'm wrong, someone please show me the math so I will know what I did wrong.

I was in a pretty crazy hand in a live tournament on Saturday. Three of us pushed preflop (we all had 4-6BB left), and we all turned over KQ suited. I flopped a flush draw and tripled up on the turn.

One of the guys was a local weatherman, which made it all the more surreal.

It's happened quite a few times to me though the occasion last week when I lost to his flush was the first time and I was suitably unimpressed.
