I think we calculate odds through 1/220 * 1/220 * 1/220
ChatGPT calculates odds at 1 in 10.65 million. Google just gives scientific notation.

For those exact hands in that exact order correct but realizing we would feel the same about JJ+ three times in a row overstates the odds of that happening by a great deal.

There are 2,652 possible ways to pick 2 cards from a standard 52-card deck. 6 of those ways are a pair of Jacks so your odds of getting a pair of Jacks would be 442 to 1. Getting Jacks 3 times in a row would be 86,350,888 to 1.
If you don't care about which pair you get, you have 78 ways to get a pair out of the 2,652 or 34 to one odds. Getting 3 pairs in a row is 39,304 to 1. If you already have a pair, the chances of you getting a pair in the next two hands is 1,156 to 1.

A pair is 1 in 17 not 34 to one. Easily calculated by you will get a first card all the time and 3 in the remaining 51 cards will make you a pair.
