I generally go through a royal drought of 200000 - 250000 hands about once or twice a year, but I count n-play hands in those stats (I noticed that you don't count n-play with n > 9).
Because I find droughts of that length somewhat normal, what I tend to find most disconcerting is when you are not only having a royal drought but you are also taking a beating on the drop. I'm currently on a single-line drought of only 100000 hands, but I'm down over $350000 in less than two months (playing $10 with one $25 session thrown in). I've certainly never experienced that before and this will likely be my first negative year because of it, but in times like these, it helps to remind myself that I wouldn't have had that money in the first place if it weren't for vp. As long as I keep playing positive EV and employing the decision making processes that made me the money in the first place, I SHOULD eventually grind it back. But that being said, it certainly feels more like a grind when you think about how long it will probably take just to get out of the hole.
I hope things run better for both of us soon.
