    Had to pick "over a year" even though it was more like 8 months, but that was not an option on your poll lol

    I see you talking but all I hear is blah blah blah

    about 6 months. came close a few more times, and would have made another one if i'd played 10 J. but only hit the one so far.

    Default dozen doughnuts please

    I have had over a dozen royals online in the last 8 years.
    A straight flush has happened more often.
    Don't jump the gun on these hands. Play slow and gain the most.
    If you are a river chaser, good for you for taking the gamble.
    Omaha has created more of the good hands than NLH.

    However, playing the face-to-face version, I definetly need some help.
    Online offers too many FU'ed crazy occurances, so ride the wave when you can.

    Default Royal Flush

    It took me about 5 months to get a royal flush online. Hasn't happened live yet.

    I didn't win a lot since my opponent didn't even have a flush. They got to have a big hand before they bet big. But it's nice to show it.
    If you always stop while you're ahead, you'll never lose.

    I have seen three royals online and two live, and I have only gotten one online.
    Want a real challenge? PM me about the Chris Ferguson challenge! (which I can now say I have completed myself!)

    I have had four Royal Flushes online. All at Pokerstars, even though they only get about 1/3 of my online play. Two of them came within a week around Christmas 2 years ago.Haven't had one in over a year.

    Never had one live, but live probably makes up less than 2% of my hands.

    Since I started recording my hand histories about 4 years back, I've had 6 royal flushes. All and all, I'd say I've had about 12-15 royal flushes in about 20 years (counting all forms of poker I've played/play), so it's definetely a long wait
    Limit poker is a science, but no-limit is an art. In limit you are shooting at a target. In no-limit, the target comes alive and shoots back at you.
