Odds of getting any particular two card combination from a deck of 52 is as such:

52:1 * 51:1 = 2,652:1

Odds of getting any particular two card combination from a deck of 52 back to back (or how many hands to see the same exact hand again) is as such:

2,652:1 * 2,652:1 = 7,033,104:1

I am not sure, but this is what my grade school teacher thought me for card math. It could be either 2,652:1 * 2,652:1, or 2,652:1 + 2,652:1 for 5304:1, but I'm going to lean more to the 7m side of the odds. Lol.

*Again, I am thinking this is totally wrong. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
