Posted by DMSSL: nothing special. I had it twice. There needed more action, more show. The problem with royal flush is that you cannot get value sometimes.
Yeh I know - for all their flash you're rarely getting paid - since obviously the board shows a flush and you KNOW that they don't have one of the top 5 flush cards.. About the only way to get paid is if the board has paired and someones hit their boat or even quads..
Speaking of quads - they're generally difficult to get paid off on as well.
IMHO one of the best hands to have is just a plain set on a dry board. Can stack TPTK so often here.

Well I didn`t get a royal flush myself, but unfortunately someone had it against me.
I had Ac Ah, villain had Kd Qd
Flop was Ad Jd Kh, Turn Kc, River Td.
I was Allin after the Turn, Villain payed as he was committed and had a short stack (relative to the pot). I lost most of my stack and was out a few hand later (was on Tilt I guess )
)
