I'm just like Sklansky!
I mean his luck, not his skill. He managed to get aces 3 times in a row, but last night I got them 3 times in 4 hands! I'm not sure which was luckier though, getting them, having them hold up, or getting paid off with them. This was at a PartyPoker $50 NL (0.25/0.50) table.

Comments
Nice to get paid out like that too - what were the comments in the chat like??
I got AA back to back in a tourney at G2s once.
Unfortunately, they were during the first blind level.
The first pair - I made hardly anything but showed.
Second pair - made a nice pot - after the opponent stated that I couldnt have AA again. :>
Nice rush Trev-
Last night in our SNG: first hand dealt AA - get it all in and take out JJ for all his money
 second hand dealt AA - say "aces again!?!" as I min raise and only win the blinds
(guess they believed me!! I wouldn't!!)
and of course getting dealt back-to-back pocket AA's to start the SNG I was destined to be bubbleboy
- wow
- way to harness the rockets
- how do you call that with 99? (my favorite)
- it's rare to get paid off with them
- you have to do it preflop, hard to win postflop (my second favorite - pure weakness )
After Hand 3
- no f***ing way
After Hand 4
- please!!!
- are you serious?
- this is crazy!!
- remind me never go heads up with you!
Betcha there was some colourful comments in THAT chat box... . winning $200 + in three hands... at .25/.50 game... damn

In a lunch tourney at work I once had 4 pocket pairs in a row (odds against: 80000/1) and they all held up (odds against: infinity + 1/1). It was sweet.
