I should add that at a sufficiently high payoff (and the reported
meter may well represent such a case), I can see where strategy
modifications might be appropriate that would reduce the
sequential/reverse sequential royal cycle considerably.However, if that's the basis for your answer of "about 40 royal
cycles" vs. my calculation of about once every 60 royals without
strategy modification, I'd be very interested in the source of your
calculations.
Actually, they aren't my calculations, but results I accept as true.
I AM blessed to have a friend and tutor who IS one of the most astute, analytical, mathematical wizards I have ever met (also a member of this group, but I wouldn't want to expose his identity without his consent), and I have learned that, when he gives me figures, I can take them to the bank (and have, many times : )
Yes, there are severe strategy modifications that reduce the number of cycles from the normal 56-60 range to about 40. Two royal cards in position, for example, are worth more than a pair of 2's, 3's or 4's (remember this is DDB where they pay 400 or 800 with a kicker).
