Actual Math? Fail.

This is absurd. The Full Tilt random number generator has definitely decided to punk me.

I'm killing time waiting for the Friday dollar donkament by playing in the nightly $26 token frenzy. So far, I've been dealt a 3 in eight out of eighteen hands. I'm running at better than 44 3s/100. Last night it seemed like 99 3s/100. That's a lot of fawking threes.

There are only supposed to be four 3s in the deck. I had to retake statistics a few times in order to finish my degrees, but I think a rough approximation for how often you should receive a 3 would be:

P= (4/52) + (almost 4/51) = about 2/13

Theoretically, shouldn't this mean that a normal person would run at about 15 3s/100?

Don't answer that, I've now been switched over to face-rag soooooooooooooooooooted.

Over my last 12 hands I'm running at 50 f-rs/100. Mother f-rs.

I'm breaking out the Reynolds Wrap big time tonight.



We're through the looking glass here, people.

Psyche!

Math geek time:

Probability of having a 3 in your hand = 1.0 - probability of not having a 3.

1 - (48/52 * 47/51) = .149
