Royal Flush

#1 28th October 2010, 7:21 AM

I was just wondering how many here have seen a royal flush while playing either online or live.

I have only seen one once and that was in a play money game. At Bodog casino I hit a natural one on video poker(That was sweet BTW). Other than that I have never seen one except in the movies. After five years or so and probably at least a million hands I figure I would see more.

Anyway, not sure of the odds of getting one are but I'm starting to think it's like a once in a lifetime event if that. So if anyone knows what the odds of getting one /seeing one are please post that too.

I've seen one live at a local tourney, just two weeks ago actually, and two online. The one at the local tourney was KsQs v AhAd, flop was AsJsJd; guy with pocket aces bets 1/3 pot, KQ calls, turn is 10s, pocket Aces bets 1/2 pot, KQ goes doubles bet, Aces goes all in, and call. (River 4d)

I've had 1 online, and barely made money on it. SB minraised my BB of AcJc, flopped a flush, turned the royal, made a bet and he folded. Obviously he didn't have a club.

While not a royal, I flopped a straight flush with 7d8d, and a flop of 569d. Some guy shoved (I have no idea why) with pocket 8's.

If I held the aces in this one I prolly woulda spewed all over the table before I passed out. That's not a cooler, it's an effin freezer!

Hi there,

I've been playing for about 2 years, and even myself had 2-3 royal flushes, and several straight flushes....So it should come I even have screenshots of them, but only on my hard drive, and it is difficult to attach pics here.

That's insane, I feel bad for the guy with quad tens.

I actually was playing an sng today at pokerstars and wasn't in the hand but should have been because it came: J Q A 10 K , all of spades for a royal flush for all. I've never seen that before and probably never will again

#8 28th October 2010, 8:49 AM

I'v only seen one straight flush which I had to pay out for lol. I raised preflop with Aces(As,Ad), some guy called, flop came 2,3,4s. I bet, he called and I assumed he had maybe A,Ks or some high flush draw. Turn, 5s. I smile, totally sure someone wouldn't call a 5BB bet with some crap suited connectors and maybe made K flush or so. I bet half the pot, he went all in. I was 100% sure I had this straight flush. He turns over 6s,7s.

I was nearly sick.

Never seen a royal flush yet though..

#9 28th October 2010, 9:08 AM

in texas holdem
ive had
1 royal flush live
1 royal flush online
1 strait flush (flopped)
many strait flushes
many flopped quads
a lot of quads by river
the list goes on

Ive seen others have
4 royal flushes live
3 royal flushes online
0 strait flushes (flopped)

Im waiting to flop a royal,

the once in a lifetime thing is only going to be in 5 card draw.

#10 28th October 2010, 9:25 AM

I probably get on average 1 a year or so online (6 overall); have had one live in a tournament when it was 3-handed.

In Omaha I have had more than 6 but it's easier to get them (you play more hands, see all 5 cards more often -- often times, you'll have a royal flush draw and take it down on the flop).

#11 28th October 2010, 10:00 AM

I must have been pretty lucky when I started since I had 4 RF in the first 6 months. One RF of spades beat another guys full house of Queens and 10s, so that was especially sweet

But it has been 6 months or so since the last one

I have seen two other people have RF in hands I was in.

#12 28th October 2010, 10:26 AM

had 14 royals on line in the little more than 4 years i play and 2 live in the 8+ years
13 online royals where on sites offering a bonus for them :P
just 2 times i got payed out good at the table online with opponent allin .

once had a straight flush in carribian at merge taking a 10% jackpot of over 3K also

#13 28th October 2010, 12:28 PM

The crazy thing is I haven't even been seeing them. I guess the odds of hitting one are 649,739 : 1. So the just to see one have to be about 9x better.

I have seen some weird shat though. Yesterday, when I had a PP and saw a flop I hit my set on the flop five times in a row! A while back ago I was dealt AA 4 hands in a row. I'm no a numbers guy so much but I think the odds of that have to be 1/220 * 1/220 * 1/220 * 1/220 = 2,342,560,000 to 1?

Maybe today I'll get a few Royals and no sets. I'm do right?(joking of course)

#14 28th October 2010, 1:39 PM

i've had three royal flushes
and a few str8 flushes
my last one was three days ago (25/10/2010)
called a raise with 10sJs
flop came KsQsAs
i had to do a triple take
blinked,rubbed my eyes,pinched myself
the other guy went all in
sweet double up

#15 28th October 2010, 1:43 PM

I've had 15 (live & online) total. I've seen many more than that though.

Here's my last 1 not too long ago...

#16 28th October 2010, 5:10 PM

i have had 2 royal flushes on fulltilt and 1 on pokerstars..but I was new and played alot of suited kq b4 I knew better and a10 and 10 j and qj ...lol nice blog!

#17 28th October 2010, 7:40 PM

I've never had a royal flush. The closest I've come is a king high straight flush in a MTT on Poker stars. I doubled up on someone who had the A high flush. He went AI and it was easiest call I've made. heh

#18 28th October 2010, 10:45 PM

I have never had a royal flush in poker. I get flushes all the time when im playing poker online but never had a royal flush as a hand. I have seen it online from other poker hands.

#19 28th October 2010, 11:52 PM

I got a royal flush during one of those omahi hi freerolls on full tilt. The guy went all in after flop and I called with a flush draw then got runner for a royal flush with my ace 10 suited. Its a pity that it was during a freeroll and not a big buy in tourney.

#20 29th October 2010, 12:03 AM

I've only had one in a freeroll. i got it all in to so that was good. there was also another i would have had had i not folded k 10 suited preflop but what are you gonna do. and i'm pretty sure the odds are 1 in 600 thousand so it really takes alot of hands to get one.

#21 29th October 2010, 12:03 AM

Just saw one a few minutes ago, but as far as getting a royal myself, I'm still waiting for my first Hold'em one. Had one in PLO, though.

#22 29th October 2010, 2:10 AM

I have been playing poker since 2004,2005 and have had one.I have seen maybe three or four. I figure if I play for the next ten yrs or so I might get one more. Good Luck!!

#29 1st November 2010, 11:14 PM

bump. Saw one today in a BLT sat. Maybe I have been at tables with then before and just wasn't in the hand or paying attention.

#30 2nd November 2010, 4:16 AM

ive had 5 i believe total..maybe a little off...wish i would have saved each one and made a collage or something for me to look at them all. all of them online too in 2 years.

#31 2nd November 2010, 4:38 AM

For fun I played 8 250 play money SnGs, by the time they were wrapping down I cashed in five and was in first on the other four on the final table lol... it was such a sick run of cards I wish i had been playing for real money. I got a straight flush, like 5 or 6 sets, a couple straights and flushes... was a sick run.

Couldnt play for real money because I had class... also had to leave all those games that I was in first, haha.

#32 2nd November 2010, 4:48 AM

It's pretty sick that I have had 2 live royals, and 3 online royals at pokerstars, never made any money from them though...

#33 2nd November 2010, 9:45 AM

I've had one in my life and it was on FT in Rush poker 1/2 table and it paid bigtime. I was up about 3x my buyin and so was the guy I played. I had AcQc and the flop was Kc10c10h, he had KK and didn't raise too much pre-flop. He made a healthy bet on the flop and turn but not too much because he wanted to keep me around. I rivered the Jc and checked it to him. He made a huge bet and I shoved all in, he actually thought about it for about a minute before calling.

It was one of the biggest hands I've ever won.

#35 14th November 2010, 7:27 PM
