These hands are always nice to see (unless you are on the receiving end!). The only trouble with these hands is that they are so transparent ,that unless you get the chips in pre-flop, it is almost impossible to get paid

Always a rush to hit a royal indeed. I was lucky enough to hit a few already but with little reward in all of them. I find it more rewarding cash wise to hit a straight flush.. On those ( at least the ones i remember) I always got payed max.. Sometimes because ppl also got a flush at the same time, straight or even in one occasion i remember the my opponent hitting a full house. Anyway I wish i got a royal every time i played lol. Being on the receiving end hurts sure.. but also never lost much against one.. Hope this was your first of many mate. Best of luck on!

very nice hand, it is bad that you didnt have more chips, but royal flush is royal flush I had 5 royal flush in my whole life, and that is very hard to get. I watch some interviews of poker pro players, and few of them said that they never had royal flush in their life... But one time Phil laak said that he lose with 4 aces against royal flush I think against Phill Ivey, dont know for sure

Congratulations on hitting the Royal Flush. Such a shame no other player was in the pot especially when the button had such a big chip lead but it is unlikely the small blind would have played much more after that flop.I flopped a royal flush a while back and my opponent had nothing to play back at me so as lukasb says probably better when not so strong.

Cheers mate congratulations on the Royal Flush, it is a rare feet and you have to be lucky to get that, so congrats on it again , also if you get paid then it is the best, i remembered mine clearly on full tilt poker i had T7 spade, the green one, flopped the first 3 cards on flop and turn i got the other bit and the two other guys push all in and i just called and counted my chips lol. Best memory and will never forget about it! Cheers have fun!
