The Royal Flush

you lucky guy :)...i am still waiting for it

Hei

I had one royal flush for now in like hmm.. a million hands or so When I was playing and gor it I was very short stack so i became only like 4$ or so (more on the beginning of my poker time :)).

i have exactly 0 in 400,000 hands.

i did however fold a potential one preflop

dealt A♠:ts, i fold to early position raise. flop came J♠:ksX, turn Q♠.

not too sure about the maths of it but i think the probability of getting a royal flush is 1 in 220000 or there about. I read that in several places.

I had not one, but twice royal flush. And played once vs royal flush. First royal flush was epic AhJh, v KK. FlOP ThKhQx, Turn K, River Qh ... SO sad that it was on Pokerstars otherwise I would've got a "nice" BR boost. But haven't see an royal flush in 4-5 months.

Well according to wikipedia, its 649,740 : 1 if you consider 5 card poker.

so i was wrong before.

theres 2,598,960 possible hands and only 4 of them are royal flushes.

But for games with 7 cards where you take the best of 5. It is: 30,939 : 1

I got my first one a few weeks ago.

0.5/1 Fixed-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
Hand recorder used for this poker hand: Elephant 0.69 by www.pokerstrategy.com.

Preflop: Hero is BU with Q♣, K♣
UTG1 calls, UTG2 folds, MP1 calls, 3 folds, Hero raises, 2 folds, UTG1 calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) J♣, 5♠, 9♦ (3 players)
UTG1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets, UTG1 calls, MP1 folds.

Turn: (4.75 BB) A♣ (2 players)
UTG1 checks, Hero bets, UTG1 raises, Hero calls.

River: (8.75 BB) T♣ (2 players)
UTG1 checks, Hero bets, UTG1 calls.

Final Pot: 10.75 BB

Results follow (highlight to see):
Hero shows a royal flush (Qc Kc)
UTG1 shows a pair of aces (Ah Qh)

Hero wins with a royal flush (Qc Kc)

Would have prefered a non-club ten on the river. Villian might have bet again.

man i wish i could have saved it for the higher stakes although i did win a huge pot of 2$ lol. Now i'm going to have to wait another 600 000 hands for the next one. I'ts pretty crazy cause ive only played 3 000 hands.

Two times!11!!

Closest I got was a K high straight flush.

Once saw someone else flop a royal flush at my table tho.

It's from Stryyke. Ongame network if I'm not wrong.

My luckbox friend have 3 royal flush in 24hours....firist in live game against my full house on flop and after that on fulltilt 2 times later that day...(he play lifetime maybe 2000hands)...just sick,i suggest to go play lotto and share 50/50 ♦

i've had 6 royal flushes in 3 months at bwin, and i've been beat by about 5. this is over less than 100k hands. how sick is that

@ pokerhelton:

What screen capture software do you use?
And does it offer a print area option rather than full screen?

Or are you just using windows print screen thingy?

This is asumming you reach the river though, seen as for a tag this will only happen 7% of the time would mean you have a 1 iin 441986 hands, however this doesnt taking nito account the times you hit one on the flop or turn which would make it difficult to accuratly calculate how often you get one and ultimately it depends on your playing style.

And actualy from this point of view, fish do get better hands because they will get more royal flushes (statistically)!!! RIGGED

I saw one today then had my first one

yepiiii
