This doesn't seem to be answering my question. I may have worded it badly. Let me rephrase the question.
I need to know the difference in lifetime hands that short-term players vs long term players get out.
I'll go first: I consider myself a long term player and I have played about 25,000,000 hands in my career.
I average about 2 million hands a year. (single line)
___________________________
Your turn: I consider myself a short-term player and I have played about xxxxxxxxx hands in my career.
I average about xxxxxx hands in a year. (single line)
___________________________
How many hands people play in a day is not relevant. Only how many hands they have ever played and ever will. A yearly average might come in handy.
I need to know the difference in total play volume for the analysis I'm doing. I'm assuming that short term players play less hands in a year, or in a lifetime than full time players, or there would be no difference.
There is no right or wrong answer to this. I'm just accumulating data.
