Have you made a Royal Flush?

[Mika Ollila]

The propability of making a 5-card Royal Flush out of 7 cards is 1 in 30,940.

Have you ever made this King of poker hands?

I made two during my first full year of playing poker, but have not made one for two years now.

As an anecdote, one year I had the profit of Royal Flush negative on my Poker Tracker. The reason was that I folded my hand from the blinds pre flop, and the board made the Royal Flush with two players splitting the pot. I wonder what are the odds of that

[r8rpwr]

Never. But I suspect I've got a few hands to go before it happens, with those odds.

molilla, that's amazing. I can't imagine how long the odds are against that happening.

[kelkat]

Nope, but I've made a royal blush - does that count for anything?

On the funny side, I was listening to my kids play poker one afternoon. They kept coming up with 4 aces or royal flushes. I just didn't get it - until I realized they were playing with a pinnacle deck! Guess that would make it easier.

I've never had a royal flush whenever I play poker... the best I've ever gotten after the flop is a full house... other card games give me a four of a kind sometimes... but never a royal flush

[sbarber77]

I have never had a Royal Flush but I think I'm ready to hit it soon. I have to have played that many hands. LOL!

I've hit three royal flushes now, all three times i was holding the Q-J. once they were offsuit and i turned the straight flush and rivered the royal flush. I also flopped a K high straight flush once. The one time i really cleaned up because i was playing in a twice raised pot with the Q-J of clubs and the flop came 10-K-A of clubs. I checked the nuts but called the moderate bets. The turn paired the 10 and the action was heavy. I busted four players out on that hand. AA, KK. 10-10( he was really happy). I think having hit three royal flushes is probably a sign that i'm playing too much poker.


good luck with it, there truly is not a better feeling than having the absolute nuts and watching people bet into you with really solid hands.

Damn it must have felt good holding the nuts on turn there

[kelkat]

Either you are playing too much or you are the luckiest poker player alive

Which ever is the case, keep up the good work. Maybe you could set a guiness record.

I wish that I was lucky enough to hit a Royal Flush. It's a miracle if I get much better than 3 of a kind.

[ester11]

I voted no, ive never made one. I know a lady that won seven thousand dollars on a royal flush. TO me that is unimaginable. But theres still plenty of playing time to go. So I'll try to get that Royal flush soon. Ive had straights and I've had flushes. but not the combo

[queenofthetables]

I have never made a Royal Flush and I have been playing for the past 7 years. The best hand that I ever have gotten was a Straight Flush and that was just one time. I swear if I didn't have skills I would never win at this game for sure.

[blf2much]

I have made a couple of these and have seen them a few times, but we used to play poker quite a bit back in the day so I guess it was bound to happen.

[pokerwhiz]

I've had three when I was on Pokerroom for about two years. I also had 16 Royals on their casino site Video poker games. Maybe it's good they closed, I walked away with a profit. They used to give a bonus of 100x the big blind in the game you got one.

[Fictive]

I've made two royal flushes. Both came within the first 6 months or so of playing. The first one I flopped a royal flush holding AQ, and didn't make much of a profit on it. The second one came about a month after the first. Haven't made one in nearly two years now.

On the other hand, I have never made a straight flush in over two years. How weird is that?

[Cobra_Kai]

I hit one, in a tournament and of course had my cards on automuck and the idiot folded after the river and I didnt get to shwo it off

Oh, bummer. I hate that. I have never experienced this with a royal flush, but several times I forgot I was on automuck and didn't get the satisfaction of showing off a stellar hand.

[freiaaron]

I hit a royal flush with the AK clubs, it was versus a player with AA. I had about 100$ in front of me in a 2/4$ NL. 1 limper, I raised he min raised i pushed all in he called and I rivered the royal. gotta love absolute poker

[bradybb]

I have flopped a royal but what I would like to know is has anyone besides me lost with Quads to higher Quads

[DUA82]

i turned a royal flush when i first started playing online poker. i was in a play money room lol

[pan1c]

I've had 2 royal flushes in the last week one was in a 7card stud game (first 5 cards) was too obvious to get any good money from it. The other was early in a MTT NL HE a player pushed all in pre flop and i called with AJ hearts q10 on the flop and the king on the river.
