    the same odds as winning EVERY coin flip where you are all in for a month

    which is (1/2)^X, X= number of coin flips you are all in for a month

    Depends on how many coinflips you were in.

    Also depends on your idea of a coinflip.

    Also depends on your memory.

    No, its all mutually exclusive events so its 1:2 and the cards are not falling that way. My point is its actually worse than that....

    1:2 is not a coinflip.

    Which kind of answers the question I had about math skills.

    Have no idea. But Im currently on a week long run of losing 'coinflips', although I'm usually a 60/40+ favourite, so not really coinflips.

    what are the odds of losing every time this is the situation ... 99 vs. KK ....or any situation like this for the last month?

    probably 50 of these in a row seems to be about the minimum.

    better answer.

    i usually wouldn't risk all of my money when flipping a coin....but i would pick tails cuz heads always fails.

    No Chance In Hell if u play a lot. Ain't gonna happen, and never will, unless u play only 1 tourney a month, get dealt QQ 1st hand, u shove, guy calls with AK, and his AK wins and busts you. Meanwhile, u bitch and moan about your bad beat and decide to take the rest of the month off cause of it...
