I'm not talking about hands played when you're not there, I'm talking about the hands you need to play to get to expectation.

Your dealt high pair was at worst a push, so it must have been a positive play to hold the pair.

You broke up the high pair, and held 3-to-the-royal instead, I'm guessing your hold was a negative play with an expected loss.

But you won 4000 credits.

How many times does a hand like that occur, where you are dealt a high pair with 3-to-the-royal?

How many more times will you need to "misplay" such a hand to reach expectation for the dealt hand played that way?

I don't know how many hands you'll need to play to make up for your mistake, but somebody here does...that's why I'm asking.
