Okay, I spoke to soon. The Markov chain gets the expected time to when the event occurs not how many are expected to happen.

Re: Bitter die
So, you cannot do it by Markov chain?
Fixed my matrix above, forgot that 654321 is not an absorbing state.

Re: Bitter die
Hm, is expected time calculated as P(I-P)^(-2)?

Re: Bitter die
It seems right for infinite throws. I think it's different for finite.
