An embarrassment of riches

In hold'em, you can expect to receive a specific pocket pair once every 221 hands. Last night, I received an embarrassment of riches. I was dealt rockets (pocket aces) three times, and cowboys (pocket kings) three times. Since I must have played less than 100 hands, I was receiving both rockets and cowboys at 6.63 times their expected frequency, at least. Sad to say, I missed the money, despite all this good luck. I won every time I was dealt rockets, and lost every time I was dealt cowboys. The cowboy hand that hurt the most was the one where the river gave me a set of kings, but also gave an opponent a king high straight. Ouch!
