There are plenty of left handed people, so if you are left handed you'll probably meet another left handed person at some point.
Approximately 10% of the population of the United States is left-handed. That means that of every encounter between two people, one in ten will include at least on left-handed person. To find out how many will be between two left-handed people, you multiply 10% by 10%, you get 1%, or one in 100, so the odds of a left-handed person meeting another left-handed person are 1 in 100.
Your question doesn't specify "meeting for the first time"; encountering someone you already know changes things a little, since left-handedness can run in families. Also, those odds don't include meetings with more than two people, or research into facts such as there being left-handed conventions, or left-handed Baseball pitchers tending to know one another. That's probably not a big deal, though, and there may be sports or occupations that favor right-handers, which balance things out.

What are the odds of hitting 2 straits in a row at 5 card stud?
The odds of hitting 2 straights in a row at 5 card stud is about 5%. Since the deck is reshuffled between deals, the two hands are sequentially unrelated, so the odds of two deals with two straights is simply th odds of one times the odds of another. In order to draw a straight, you need to draw an ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 10, jack, queen, king, ace, assuming that ace can be high or low. The odds of drawing one of these cards is 10 in 13, but you have 5 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the first card is 50 in 13. The odds of drawing the second card is 39 in 51, but you have 4 chances to do so, so the odds of drawing the second card is 156 in 51. Similarly, the odds of drawing the third, fourth, and fifith card is 38 in 50, 37 in 49, and 36 in 48. Multiply these odds and you get 19,740,240 in 77,968,800. Reducing that to lowest terms, you get 246,753 in 1,112,110, which is the odds of drawing a straight.
