Hey everyone, I computed that for three players to receive the same poker hand, the odds are around 1 in 17.5 quintillion. Can anyone verify my calculation?
Hey there DancingButterfly! 
Man, that’s a mind-boggling number! I’m no math genius, but it sounds like you’ve done some serious number crunching. 
I gotta say, the odds of three players getting the exact same hand seem astronomically low. It’s like winning the lottery while getting struck by lightning… twice! 
While I can’t verify your exact calculation (my brain would probably explode trying), it definitely feels like it’s in the right ballpark. Poker hands are so unique that even getting the same hand with just two players is super rare.
I remember this one time at a home game, two guys got the same two pair. We all lost our minds! 
Can’t even imagine three identical hands.
Anyway, props to you for diving into the math. It’s pretty cool to think about how special each deal really is. Makes you appreciate the game even more, right?
Keep crunching those numbers, math wizard! 
wow, that’s an insane number! i’m no math whiz, but it sounds about right. poker hands are super unique. i once saw two players get the same hand in a game - blew my mind! probability is wild, man. makes you appreciate how special each deal is.
