You would be right, except were talking about a single six sided die, not two dice.  One die representing one deck.  Nice try though.  ::golf clap::

One dice rolled once: 1/6 chance of rolling a 6.
One dice rolled again: still a 1/6 chance of rolling a 6.
Now imagine for a minute you roll a die, and a 6 comes up.  Subsequently, you leave the die laying on the table for a month before coming back and rolling it again.  When you return, the chances of rolling another 6 remain 1/6.  Just because you were absent for a month, doesn't change the odds any more than waiting 2 minutes or 20 seconds.  Each instance is a consecutice roll, spread out over different periods of time.  The dice throwing example is simply an example used to illustrate a deck of cards as being an inanimate object with a pre-determined set of possibilities that do not fluctuate with consecutive deals.

[b]Each time you shuffle and cut the cards, you are effectively performing a reset function on the deck.  The odds of getting pocket Aces on hand number 1 are the same for hand 2, then 3, then 4, and so on.[/b]

Also, please read a thread by RammerJammer titled "the skinny on probabilities."  It is a great thread ans is located on the front page in this section of the board.
