I wouldn’t assume it was a trick coin, correct.

You're not assuming anything. The number of flips are evidence that should be altering your initial assumption that the coin is fair.

5000 heads in a row? There has to be some point where you start to think the coin probably isn't fair.

Why tho? If the first coin flip is 50/50, why isn’t the second one?
