I am am not as analytical as some of you are but I will give it a whirl for the hell of it.. 
How often do I play?  approx 1-2 times per month depending, maybe more if doing well. ( It would be a lot more if I weren't 60 miles from casinos)
 
2.  What is your game(s) of choice?   10/6 and 9/6 DDB, sometimes worse if I am playing nickels
 
3.  At what denomination do you normally play?  Quarters usually, I will move up in denom if I am doing real well.  Presently I am at nickels unfortunately..
 
4.  Single line or multi-line games?  Single line
 
5.  What rate of speed do you play at (hands/hour)? 
It depends, 9/6-10/6 DDB is what I know best.  I like to vary speeds.  If the machine is hot I have been clocked somewhere 800-1000 when I am really locked in.  With a schedule I do not play as often such as 7/5 probably 3-400.  These are VPFW numbers
 
6.  How long have you played VP?  Regularly since 1993, started 1990
 
7.  Approximately how many Royals to date?  My guess, somewhere around 40-50.
 
8.  Longest marathon session? This is where players vary in estimation.  If you are talking start to stop with no breaks probably 6-8 hours.  If you include meal breaks but no sleep probably twice that.
 
9.  Largest win in one sitting? 
Never hit larger than a quarter royal but have hit for the cycle a few times.  That is the royal plus AWK... To answer the question somewhere around 2 grand.
 
10. Largest loss in one sitting?  Again in one session probably about a grand.  I have had some duzies.  After I lose a royal it is time to quit and regroup.
