An Interesting Weekl

#1

I played 5 to 6 hours on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. All single line.

Hit a royal each night, and last night was dealt one for the first time in more than 25 years of playing.

Another thing that made last night's play even more interesting: I was dealt trips 66 consecutive times without hitting quads.

Question: Does anyone else chart these, and if so, what kind of streaks have you had?

One
more interesting note about last nite: After 6 hours of play I was up
exactly $2,000, the royal payoff, despite the dearth of quads.

I don't chart things like that, but normally when I start to play, I mentally keep track of how many times I draw to trips before hitting a quad. I play mostly 5 line vp. Recently, I began a session by going 22 consecutive attempts before completing a quad. That's 110 draws before getting a quad drawing to trips.

Earlier this week, my first 10 draws to trips, again on 5 line vp, produced 9 sets of quads!

You just don't know when these highly improbable outcomes (both good amd bad) are going to show up.

I sometimes count how many failed 3 of a kind to 4 of a kind draws I
have before connecting.

Question: If I hold a pair, and the first card I get on the draw
makes 3 of a kind, should I count that as a "missed attempt" at
drawing 3 of a kind to 4 of a kind??

If I hold 3 of a kind and draw two cards, I can't see how that's
different to holding a pair, getting a third on the first card drawn,
and then drawing two more to try to make the 4th.

Thoughts?
