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

[DeadBabySoup]

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.

[BUILDMO]

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.

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.

[gamer4life27]

I have seen three royals online and two live, and I have only gotten one online.

[allthatremains]

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.

[irishpkr]

never been dealt one at all only time ive seen online was when my nut full house was cracked by the Royal :P

[Fictive]

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
