Very nice hand!

Nice!!! and the flopped flush also and the royal before the board pairs!

I have had 2 at bodog cash games where they pay you 50xbb if you hit one with 2 to the royal your hand.

I've had one online and one live. Got all my money in online but live couldn't get much out of him. He showed a pair of black 8s and we had 5 diamonds on the board. Bummer.

...nice....ive only ever had one...got very little action out of it too..

My one and only royal flush never got paid... because I timed out and autofolded

Very nice....I have yet to get my first. haha
Congrats though, that must of felt great.

Very nice hand. I have been lucky enough to get one RF. I got a few chips with mine too. I am now waiting on my second.

wow nice 10th lol ive only ever had 3 and they were online online never saw one on the table

yeah thats the problem with royal flushes u hardly make a lot of money with them lol unless there holding something amazing

very nice... i only had one in years i play... and that not in holdem, but in omaha... my wife does not play as long as me but had two royals since now...

Obviously i sit down on the wrong tables or so... i dont know...

What a beautiful looking hand

I have had 2 in my life

Lazmansa

I love getting those when somebody thinks they have a power full house

You played it very well. Congrats!!! I've had only 3 or 4 - 3 I can document anyway, never made any $ off it. Always a thrill.

Very well! Feels good getting a royal .

You say you've got ten royal flushes in your span of playin poker... you must play A LOT or must have the luck of the gods bro...

I personally have only hit a royal flush live at my weekly game at my buddies house... I have yet to ever come close to hitting it online... however I have hit quad aces a few times online...

Well keep up the good work and rock on man... wow, 10 royal flushes...

Rock On,
Moe

Still waiting on my first - please, spare me your tears.

Very nice hand! I have just hit my first on FT... So happy !

very nice..I think Iv only hit like 3 royals but Iv hit quads a butt load of times..and its always nice to get the most out of it as well

Rockin! I too hit one yesterday. My first.

Man, i have still never hit a royal! I have gotten close (king high straight flush that REALLY paid off!) but not royal. One day though, one day...

But congrats!

Wow 10!!!! This is the most I've ever heard of. I've only had 1 and it was in an online freeroll WHAT A WASTE!!! At least I got one though. I have seen 2 others at my table though one online and one live. The live one was my uncles so I was happy for him.

Good one!
If I had only 1 royal flush...

Great hand. I always enjoy reading Royal Flush Blogs. Only had 1 myself but working on lots more.

very nice hitting that royal flush, just hitting the flush on the flop would have won it for you. In the back of your mind you would have been hoping for that last card to come out to hit your royal flush, but would of had some doubt if it would come out. Many times ive been one card away from a royal flush and am yet to hit one and tick that off my list of things. Best ive hit is a straight flush-king high, close but not close enough im afraid

love it

I've been playing online for about 5 years and have hit a royal about 4 times. One was even at a jackpot table, but there were no contenders for the bad beat...sigh. The odds of hitting one are 649,740 to 1 so I'm sure the reason we see them with a fair amount of frequency online is the huge number of hands dealt on a daily basis. I'm always sort of bummed that all we win is the pot--I think there at least oughta to be some kind of bonus.

In contrast, they are exceeding rare playing live and many rooms offer a very nice reward, even if they don’t advertise it. Just before Christmas two years ago I hit one on a local riverboat and I still remember the details like it was yesterday.

I had bought in for $200 at a 2-4 limit table and after about 3 hours was up to $350 or so. The play was not crazy loose or extremely tight--just good, solid poker. I was getting tired but decided to play one last hand. Under the gun, I looked down at QK of hearts. I decided that if I was going to play these cards, iffy at best in my position, I better raise. So I did. Narrowed the field, which is tough sometimes in low stakes limit, to 5 players.

The flop came Jack of hearts, 10 of hearts, and King of spades. I raised. The player next to me re-raised. 1 other person called; the blinds folded. The turn was another 10, this time spades. Though I put the guy on my left on a pair of Kings, I bet out. He raised again. The 2 remaining players folded. I called his raise. At this point I knew he had Kings full of tens and that if I had half a brain I should fold but I couldn’t—I was a long shot for a straight flush if a nine of hearts hit on the river or an even longer shot for the royal.

Here came the river and, yes, the Ace of hearts hit. I bet. He raised. I call. Sure enough, he turned over his KK. I turned over my QK hearts, smiled and said, “I think I gotcha.” There was a collective gasp around the table and I was surprisingly calm. The dealer shouted “Don’t touch those cards” and called for the floor. After she verified the hands she gave me some paper work to fill out and I asked why. She said, “Honey, you just won a thousand dollars.” I almost fell off my chair because I had no idea there was a prize!!! That was a very, very good night…

10th, wow. And I thought I was lucky with 5. Just folded what WOULD have been a royal about a week ago. I saved the hand just to torture myself. Luckily, I could my 5th (I think) a couple days later (below).

Great win, LarkMarlow. That would be a decent night indeed.

Very nice...seems like whenever I hit a royal (or straight flush), I rarely make any money off of them. Last time I made a straight flush playing live, on the turn, everyone folded to my min. bet....(.

VN! I haven't kept track of how many I've had, I know I've had about 6 of them this year which I know is the highest amount I've ever had in 1 year.

Anyways, Gratz!

im pretty sure ive only had 1 royal flush in the year that ive been apart of online poker....i cant imagine 10

The first year playing I had two or three, but it's streaky thing, haven't had one for a long time now.

The probability of making a royal flush is 1 in 2,598,960. How many hands did you play online (approximately)?

Grindit9 the number 2,598,960 is the total number of hand calculations that can be dealt.
Actual odds for hittting a royal is 1 in 649,740

I have around 300,000 plus hand on various poker trackers, only had for a couple of years
probably 3 times that before PT
probably 3/4 times that on non PT sites

It's a guess
