My guess is 45/30, and am wondering how close I am.

you're not close. I have worked with shufflers and without in the same room. I have gone through and counted for about a week how many hands I was getting. Averaged 38 hands without and 40 with. It's not this big mystical number in difference that everyone seems to think. A better dealer really doesnt' need a shuffler. The slower ones will see more of a difference than the faster ones.

I think the real difference comes from wear on the dealer. When I was dealing I could deal a lot longer with a machine. Without a machine I couldn't feel my fingers by the end of a shift.
