Four To A Royal Frequency On J.O.B.

Howdy

I play about 800 hands per hour on Jacks Or Better. If I ate my Wheaties and played an infinite amount of time, how long would it take to draw four to a royal in hands and/or hour units.

There are 5 kinds of 4-to-the-royal (A missing, K missing, Q missing,
J missing, T missing) and 4 suits and 47 kinds of non-rf kickers
(including the dealt straight flush): 5x4x47 = 940. 2,598,960/940
gives a cycle time of about 2,765 hands. There are 4 suits of dealt
straight flush, so excluding it: 2,598,960/936 gives a cycle time of
about 2,777 hands. Cycle time is the average time, the chances of
going five cycles without a hit is about a half of a percent.

Thanks to everyone who figured this out for me. Sometimes it seems like forever to get the hand and then you have to pray for the Royal. Who in their right mind would put up with this? lol
