"yeah the probability of pulling a jack from standard deck is 1/13, but what you do is pulling a jack from standard deck in 2 tries"

'''No. '''This is blatantly incorrect. You're not doing two Awakenings in one run, you can't. You're doing ONE Awakening at a time and you are not increasing the probability each time. It's not 1/5 like people are assuming. The 20% Nubee is quoting is actually out of infinity; there's "A" chance, just low, and it's entirely possible that it takes you over 100 pulls to get success. I'm currently on a 8-failure streak myself.

Using the card analogy, you wouldn't have a probability of 2/13 if you pulled two cards at the same time hoping to get two Jacks. You're then at 2/52, or 1/26, because it's one pull. In other words you're less likely to pull two Jacks at the same time than you are to pull one Jack.
