How often should I get dealt a pocket pair?

[thomasguy3419]

I'm playing pokerstars Zoom cash games and I'm getting dealt a pocket pair every 50+ hands. I read on google that every 17 hands you should get dealt a pocket pair but this is not the case on PokerStars.

Hello. It seems that the old answer, "it depends" follows suit here. It appears the frequency varies from site to site. Maybe take several tournaments on each site, and do a simple division #pairs/#hands. See if that frequency seems to be the same or near the same and then you will know from your own data. It may take more than two samples.
