Four Royal flushes for me. All on different pokerrooms. If you aim for it, you should play any two suited broadway cards. May be -ev, but your chances of getting a RF are better.

the answer is in your thread; you say u play poker in yuor spare time so: (few hands x low percentage)= zero royal flush if you would play every day for x hours multitabling x tables u should hit a royal flush from time to time. what I want to mean is that a guy who multitable for 8 tables for 5 hours a day maybe play more hands in three months that u in five years

I never got one, seen two online.. one was in omaha
Seen one offline in this game we play where its hold'em except you have to use both your cards, and all the cards from 2 - 7 are removed. Manilla my mate calls it.

Posted by ADACTA: Smurphy, threads like these are pointless. What you wanna hear?
If you dont know the odds of getting a royalflush, google it. Yes i had allready two, and you gonna get one too.
So far, dont open threads like this pls
What's it to you, Adacta? Leave it to admin. As long as he sticks to the rules, let the fella' say what he wants to say. If you don't like it, don't reply. I'm sorry, but... geez...
Me; a royal flush is a pretty sight, I wouldn't mind one now and then. As long as I win the hand though, I don't care if it is with a pair of deuces.

Never had one, and probably never gonna get one either. Or, if I get one, everybody will fold.
Not much to discuss in this matter, except maybe: Does one get well payed with a royal? The ones that has hit it, how well did you do? Folds all around?

I've seen a few and had a few of my own. I've also folded one preflop. They are not that uncommon when you play regularly for a few years. But to be honest it's no big deal. Having a royal flush doesn't necessarily mean you get a big pot. You need your opponent to have a good hand too and if they don't have a flush or fullhouse then the flush possibility might drive them away. lower straight flushes tend to be better disguised and much more profitable but you have to gamble with low cards to get them.
As you, I play only few hours every day, so, as Magatt said, I can't see any royal flush. Just for love of truth, I saw a royal flush against me in a cash game on Titan. I had full end genius oppo was looking for flush: only a 10 could beat me and happened
