My point is while "percentages" might look small, the actual dollar value can be huge.
And hitting a royal for $100k is huge. If you had a 7% edge and typically played $25 denom, your EV would be about $7k-9k an hour. Granted, you're probably not going to find that at such high stakes.

If 10% of a royal is the difference between a profitable year and a negative year....I'm not really sure what to say.

Rob, Alan is not playing with an advantage. I'm not really sure what you're even trying to get at.
