Thank Jeff! I really appreciate your help.
I redid the dealt trips (but not four of a kind or full house)
computation and came up with 47.3 as well. Not sure where I went wrong
before. Incidentally, I got my head around the calculation using this
source for anyone who is interested:

f=false
I will look at the links you provided to better understand binomial
distribution. Interesting subject.
As for my being the unluckiest person on the planet for that one and
half hours, I have fessed up to Frank that I obviously either lost track
of the elapsed time, didn't notice some of the dealt trips, or both. It
definitely SEEMED that way though! I don't drink while I play, so I am
guessing I was under-caffeinated.
Thanks again for your help.
