50 machines versus 10 machines

That same strategy yields a significant larger number of Straights and Flushes in DB than in DDB.  I must say that I was a little surprised that DDB yielded more Full Houses than DB yields.

 
It doesn't surprise me that you'd see more Full Houses in DDB, with those 3-To-Flush holds in DB that involve high cards.  In DDB you'd have more situations where, instead, you'd be keeping one high card or two unsuited high cards and picking up some Full Houses that you wouldn't get in DB.

Shadowman,
         When I refer to biological influences I don't necessarily mean just trying to be a "psychic".   Maybe people who jog 5 miles a day would be shown to press the DEAL button at a better time than sedentary people?  This is just an example of possiblities here.  There are a host of possible biological influences to be explored....Heck, World Series of Poker winner Johnny Chan likes to peel open and sniff oranges for aromatherapy when he plays live poker....stuff like that...
        Consider Elmer Sherwin, the two-time Megabucks slot jackpot winner.  Since the statistical odds are overwhelmingly against even heavy slot players hitting the first Megabucks, what are the odds of that second one rolling around?  Maybe Mr. Sherwin had something going on with his body at the time to press the button when he needed to.  I just hope it doesn't get better with age!  (Mr. Sherwin was 92 years old when he hit the second one.)
        These are all speculative ramblings on my part, but here is the article about Mr. Sherwin and his fortuitous button timing:

~Benford's Law I'm thinking old Elmer would be one of a few people who would sit at a Megabucks machine and plunk in $800 to a win.  Sure the statistical odds are overwhelming, but Elmer can afford it.  It would be interesting to know what his investment was for win #1.
