Is your statement "In many games about 40% of your RFs should come from holding 3 cards. About 30% come from holding 4 cards" actually just a little twist of this:
I am more likely to be dealt three to the royal than four to the royal, therefore I have more opportunities to hit a royal holding three cards than holding four?
