I think of this on an individual hand basis. For each hand (before the deal) I have one chance out of 40,000 of getting a royal.
By the way there is about 1 chance in 20 of playing 128,000 hands without a royal. Tomski explained it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vpFREE/message/107506

but just not sure so I thought I'd ask.
