If the cycle is 25 million hands (5000^2) then the half way even money point is about 2/3rd's of that or about 17 million hands. At the rate of a million hands per year, 1000 hours at 1000 hands per hour, that would be 17 years. Of course someone like the bucket brothers plays 4000 hours at 3000 hands per hour for 12 million hands per year, so he would get there in about 17 months.
