    On pokerstars, the last 450 hands I've been dealt, the best hand I received was 77 (4 times).

    Is this way beyond the standard deviation of expected hands to be dealt?

    The past has nothing to due with the present.

    My question is regarding being dealt 450 hands, and the best hand being 77.

    Just wondering math wise if it statistically abnormal. I am not complaining, just wondering.

    I have had worse runs, only to be followed by a series of really bad beats. It just happens. Im pretty sure I have you beat though. lol

    Yes this is an anomoly.

    More than a million to one against not getting 88+ for 450 hands in a row.

    Shit when youve seen the amount of hands most people in here have seen. 450 is nothing. Ive gone 1500 hands without AA playing 50NL before.. Then got them back to back hands.. And lost them both...

    so mathematically 77 is better than AK correct??
    if you had recieved the holding of AK 446 times, the statement of 77 being the strongest hands you've been dealt would still be right.

    i wouldn't even stress about this.......the only think you can really claim is that you didn't recieve a higher pocket pair than 77 in 450 hands.......not even close to statistical anomaly

    keep grindin
