Odds of getting 3 consectutive aces?

The odds quoted in the OP are obviously the odds of being dealt any three of a kind first 3 cards.

You will never work out the odds of three of a kind being your best hand with simple permutations. You have to eliminate every combination that includes a pair because you now have a full house. Similarly any hand where the other 4 cards contibuted to a straight, flush or straight flush has to be eliminated.

Of the 133,784,560 possible 7 card hands 6,461,620 have at best 3 of a kind and 1/13 of these would be aces.

A good table of probabilities is here.

Duh, now I get it.

52/52 times 3/51 times 2/50= 1/425
