WE ARE MOVING SOON, We will be switcing forum software in the coming days. I am not sure of the exact time and date but sometime this week. I will do my best to make sure the disruption is as little as possible but the site could be down for a good hour for the move. If you want to know about the new forum sofware please visit this Discussion

Finally hand of a $5.50 SNG...nothing special, really, except for each of our hole cards...glad they held up for a change.

Barry vs Sam Farah
AA KK
Sammy Spikes a K on the FLOP
PS, do not check that flop in future unless you like giving potential flush and straight draws free cards and then getting stacked after if they hit and get not much if they miss.
i don't quite see the significance of this reply.
The OP's title was what are the odds... I guess he thought he must not happen very often. It looks like Ali is just trying to show (with an example) that it does.
EDIT: oh.. and the odds of someone else having KK when you have aces, is 19.5 to 1. Same odds of someone having KK when you hold any hand that doesn't have a king in it.
If you want to know the odds of one player being dealt AA and another being dealt KK it would be 1 in 4290 ( I think .... 220 to 1 to get Pocket Aces, and 19.5 to 1 that someone has KK.) It's late though.. so I'm probably wrong... I'll double check my math in the morning.
