Been on a roll now for a bit with royal flushes. About 2 weeks ago I got one on Switch Poker when i was playing with the no deposit bonus at the .01/.02nl cash game. That instance I did a 3x raise UTG with AKs of spades, I flopped the royal flush. This was great, I was happy as f-=k, but no thats not enough, not satisfying enough. Ive been playing freerolls a lot like probly more through the day than u guys r even awake i had a steady MTT session of playing freerolls at various networks for over 40 hours. After sleeping last night, a few hours into playing today i started playing some freerolls at the ongame network at EuroPoker.com ... I limp with AKs of Spades because im out of position at this time with about 70 BB's. Flop, BOOM! Holy FU(K DID THAT EVER CATCH ME OFF GUARD!!! I was pretty satisfied after hitting a royal flush, I haven't hit one for probly 7-10 years, and that was back playing play money on true poker, I hit one in Holdem NL trny cant remember it well, and had one also play Omaha Hi/Lo within a span of that time as well on truepoker. Hitting both of these so close together, like come on i might actually do the percentages on that, if i take into account the amount of hands ive seen, and the probability of FLOPPING 2 royal flushes, (flopping a royal is much more statistically impossible then having it by showdown). Ive only even seen a royal flush at showdown once since i had those 2 royals a while back, Last month in december I hit 2 straight flushes in the exact same day, both on pokerstars, one in Holdem NL probly real money and another was in a PLO play money trny. Superstitiously, that was the first time I EVER played omaha since true poker i am a holdem player but super sick at omaha i guess, because in that pokerstars PLO MTT i took down 2nd/402, after heads up turning nut straight and villain rivered 2 outer for higher nut straight. But if u decided to read all of that, its quite a mind F-=K like holy living crap how this statistically happens, its that improbable i cant even believe it. I dont feel on tilt when im constantly losing with aces, and just probly an hour ago im 3x average stack raising into someone who has me covered, 3bet, me 4bet, him 5bet to 50% his stack, so i insta shove him to try and blow him off in case im running 17-18%. He calls with kings, set on the turn for him. But knowing i hit a royal flush, BUT FRIGGEN TWO so quickly, i feel so much better just because that alone feels monumental to me!

What's the big deal? Royal flushes happen numerous times a day at Buckingham Palace.
Seriously though, always cool to hit RF, the ultimate hand in poker. I am actually overdue to hit one, it has been several years. GL and welcome to the forum!

This is an unbelievable run and i have never known anything like it. I have only ever had two or three royal flushes in all the time i have been playing poker over many thousands of hands. The trouble with flopping so big is it is very difficult to get paid on them

just had a royal flush...it consisted of about 4 liters of water, the most royal part of it was how precisely sh1t was washed away...you know sometimes small pieces of crap are left behind, sometimes even bigger lumps, but when you happen to hit the royal flush- everything just turns crystal clear

Posted by ddblt1970: Limping with AKs out of position? Why? That doesn't make even tiny bit of sense.
Its a freeroll at onGame bro if they dont shove preflop ur lucky to see flops, with a big stack ppl get confused with AK as a monster. if u miss the flop ur usually toast. Best strategy is to see flops and outplay them over time u will win more, not just wait for a big hand and try and get ur money in good, when u can use skill to beat them.

I got paid i checked to the river and overbet to get called in the freeroll, and i let the guy in the cash game hang himself, x/c line all the way to the river, and donk lead out into him small he shoved over me with ace high when i had a royal.

Never had one and I would'nt fish for one either because it would never happen. Hopefully I will get one some day. Had a lot of straight flushes though.

I've had a few occassionally! Very exciting when lots of folks are in the pot and you make a HUGE killing....
... on a lighter note,... I always thought that Royalty were practically deities and never performed such earthly and bodily functions like having a big aromatic poop....
I remember when I realized that virtuous creatures like 'female humans' actually poop too.... I was shocked...

Nope, only one. And he didnt even call the big raise on river. For some reason, i have never managed to get a good amount of chips so far, while having Royal. But the satisfaction getting one, is more than enough
