what are the odds?
I was playing in my local home game Saturday night with 6 other friends ... and this happened:
I was dealt QQ - raised and everyone folded around to the player on my left who called - flop came JJJ - I bet, and the player to my left pushed all in - I tanked for a minute then called - he turned over AJ.
This was not a problem for me - just a cooler - but out of curiousity I've been trying to calculate the probability of this scenario .. What are the odds of Queens running into AJ with a flop of JJJ?!
Any math guys out there?

To get clearer math, you could calculate what the odds are of the flop coming up JJJ when QQ is all in against AJ - that is 17,295 to 1.
3 * 2 * 1 / 48 / 47 / 46
Calculation: 47 cards remain, one of which is a Jack.
1 (Jack) * 46 (other cards) / 47 / 46 * 2 (The Jack could either be the first card or the second card).
I think you mean 52:52
As per having QQ in this spot, this is kinda the spot you want to be in all night long.
