Observers Paradox.

Obviously the chance of getting the same hand at two tables is the chance of getting that hand squared ((1/52)*(1/51))^2, then cubed, etc....

The problem lies ( i think) in your tracking. While you may have XY hand at one table, 3 hands get dealt at another table, increasing the chances of it happeing. You would need to deal each hand at the same time to get a good sample here.


Of course, it could all be rigged.

Maybe it is happening, but it won't (shouldn't) continue.

well if you are ignoring suits there are only 169 different hands, so assuming that you have 2 hands that overlap one on another table (as hands don't start and end at exactly the same time) the odds of seeing the same hand on both of two tables is about 85:1.

Not 10% but more than 1% so it will happen once or twice per hour during a session (or about 3 times as often as you get dealt AA).
