Playing poker at the weekend against a mate - who now incidentally owes me an XBox 360 for his troubles (arent mates great

) and after i took him for house and home he was complaining about his luck that night.

So we played a 50/50 game where there was no money involved and just the luck of the draw of the cards from the deck that could affect who would win. The game was texas holdem so it was the best 5 card hand out of 7 cards (the difference being the two delt to each player).

Amazingly i won 12 times in a row - therefore in a game where statistically there is a 50/50 chance of each player being able to win i continued to win for 12 games straight.

We were both shuffling and both dealing to ensure there was no foul play and both sat there stunned at what was coming out.

Any ideas of the odds on this?
