I don't understand the ruckus. The formulas exist for figuring out probability of being ahead in any game given x number of hands. So if someone simply calls 2000 hands a "session," does that clear things up?

I'm not a math guy, but each year I watch the Great Courses "Intro to Probability" lectures as a refresher, and I must admit it is somewhat surprising how unusual the results are at the extreme half percent or so of the data curve even after a million events. But I just don't understand the confusion if you stick to a certain number of hands as referencing a "session." That seems to alleviate all difficulties, and makes all video poker play amenable to prediction.
