I was playing five play JB and was dealt 4 cards to a heart flush. I
discarded the unsuited card (can't recall what it was) and drew the
next card expecting to get a flush or two. To my suprise, I received
FIVE flush hands. This in itself is a real good draw, but what makes it
phenomenonal is that the drawn card for EACH hand was the ACE OF
HEARTS. What are the odds of this happening? Can anyone of the math
wizzards figure this out?

Does it have to be the Ace of Hearts or just be the same card filling out the
flushes?
If you say I want the Ace of Hearts to fill my draws before actually drawing
then you have a 1/47 chance for each line. So (1/47)^5 will yeild the answer.
If you say I want the same card to fill, then any heart out of the nine left
will work on the bottom line, 9/47 then you have a 1/47 chance to match on the
other four lines. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> See what's new at
