I wonder if you can tell me what the odds are against this: I was playing 3 card poker and was dealt 3 straight flushes in a half hour's time. The dealers could not believe it as they had never seen that happen. Bill
The odds of getting 1 straight flush are 48/22100. So the odds of getting 3 are (48/22100)^3. In 30 minutes, you'll see maybe 25 3 card poker hands. the odds of getting exactly 3 straight flushes in 30 minutes are (48/22100)^3*(1-(48/22100))^22, or about 1 in 100,000,000.

I have seen players get them back to back but never did see one three times in a row
