    Last night I set up the poker table I built last weekend for our game tonight. My 6 year old daughter comes in and says 'Daddy, I want to learn how to play poker'. I sat her down across the table from me and shuffled the cards and dealt out 1 hand to each chip stack around the table. She gets the 5th hand and I get the 10th. I told her that if she liked her cards she could put chips in the middle. She did this with great enjoyment. When the river was dealt, she went all in, I called of course and told her to flip her cards over. Pocket Aces. What are the odds of the first hand she is ever dealt being pocket aces? Kind of freaked me out, but maybe she can be the poker version of <strike>Tiger Woods</strike>, <strike>Lindsey Lohan</strike>, <strike>Danny Bonaduce</strike>...dammit I'm taking the cards away now.

    Flame away...

    I suck at math but I believe is around 0.45%.

    Real question, what are the chances her aces held?
