Innumeracy correction

I realized after writing last night's post that I was almost certainly wrong in my belief that it was the first time I'd ever been dealt rockets to start out a tournament. Since there are 1,326 unique starting hands in hold'em, of which 6 are rockets, we can expect to see rockets on the first hand once every 221 (1326 / 6) tournaments. Since I've now played 1,293 MTT NLHE tournaments, we can expect this to have happened 5.85 (1293 / 221) times. For whatever reason, the prior instances didn't set off my rarity radar. In other news, I made the money again. I could get used to this :-)
