Rob, when the odds say you have a one in 40,000 chance of drawing a royal, you have that one in 40,000 chance on each and every hand you play. It does not mean that your chance of drawing the royal increases after 39,999 hands. If it did, I would not have gone through a 180-thousand hand drought without drawing a royal. And, if you had to go through 40-thou hands to hit a royal, I would not have hit five royals over the last six weeks or so.
