    What are the odds of playing 20 hands of 5 card no draw, and never getting a pair of 10's or better?

    2.88%.

    Odds of a hand that isn't 10+10, J+J, Q+Q, K+K OR A+A are ~83.747%.

    Update: Unless you meant a pair of 10s or any hand that beats it, then you're looking at 0.4268% and some very bad luck.

      Yes, the odds on not getting 10's or better on five cards dealt with no draw. This happened to me in the SBR Casino on the "Let it ride" game. Only cost me 500 points ($20-$25), but it seemed very unusual. Lesson learned. Thanks for your response.
