A freakish freq factor

Since there are 1,326 unique starting hands in hold'em, and since tournaments generally last well under 200 hands each, every hand you're dealt in a tournament has a frequency factor of at least 6.63 (1326 / 200). That is, you receive each hand at least 6.63 times as frequently as you should expect to receive it. If you receive the same hand m times during the tournament, and were dealt a total of n hands, the freq factor is 1326 * m / n. Last night, I played approximately 100 hands, and received the king and queen of hearts 3 times. My freq factor for that hand was thus a freakish 39.78. As I recall, I only won the first time I got them, when I hit a flush.
