The reason why I said 600K without royal is impossible otherwise the machine is rigged, is olds442jetaway said he had 3 such streaks.

AP, you can try to repeat it another 2 times and make my statement completely false. :D

To put it simply, I think you are grossly overestimating the amount of hands you play. 1000hph is blazing fast. I can do it, for a while, but every sip of beer, trip to the can, every brief stare at the Little Black Dress, every trip to the ATM, reloading another hundo, ect - all knock your HPH down significantly.

I think most non-pros do. They time themselves for two or three minutes and then project that over an hour. My friends and I used to play exactly 1,000 hands at $1 a hand to exploit a promotion in Vegas and only once did anyone finish in under an hour. Even then, I don't think he could have kept that pace up foran entire shift. I personally would be happy if I was anywhere close to an hour and a half to get the prize.

That would put me in the minority, then. I do hand counts by referring to the number of points earned (I always record the start and end numbers), and knowing what it takes to earn a point.

The fastest 2 single line royals I've gotten were 6 hands apart. But the 2nd occurred about 5 hours after the first. I had cash out and left and came back later and on the same machine.
Playing TDB DSTP on the mobile app earlier. 7 deals apart as noticed by my players club points.
