Counting the times i have had it at online poker rooms, both in ring games, tournaments, sit n go's, freerolls and summing all the times i have had it on real games at my house with friends, at friends houses, and at the casino, all toghether, i count zero! I have been close for a couple of times and i remeber it well because it was always the lack of 10 that ruined everything (if you want to do a statistic of that, here is my data )! But i never suffered with one from an opponent either. Once a friend did one at my house, in a 6 player table, and he just called an other friend who thinks he's a professional to show him that "this game depends on the best five cards of each player, and there's nothing you can do against that. You can try to bet harder to put away your opponents, but if they decide to stay in the game, you better have good cards or you will look like a clown" said my friend! What a great lesson!!!

I've had it 2 times online and once at the casino. At the casino I made the most profit at 2/5NL. guy had 8h9h and I had AhKh. (Pot: 70$) Flop Jh10h2c (Pot: 240$) Turn 3h (Pot 750ish$) River Qh (We both pushed all in at this point and pot got to 2100$). I was happy because I won 2100$ and also bad beat I got 25% of 40000$ which was 10000$ tipped 100$ so I made 12000$ that one hand. other guy that lost to me lucky son of a bitch got 50% which was 20000$. The table was happy 2 cuz they shared 25% between 8ppl which was 1250$ each.

Posted by SuperNoob: I had only 1 royal flush, missed 9/10 by 1 card only though, don't remember how many i folded before river with 4 cards.
If u have 4 cards to a royal and especially if u have 2 overcards I don't c how u can fold. cuz ur drawing to the nut str8 the nut flush and sometimes top pair if u have over card.
Posted by Jodoli: The question is How many Royal Straight flushes did you have? Only royal A K J Q 10, not simple straight flushes! It is a rare hand so I think it is interesting knowing how many times this hands appear! I personally hope have a lot of that hands. In my entire poker career I only had 3 royal straight flushes!

I've been playing amateur holdem for about six months now, and so far i got two straight flushes. The funny thing is i got them one after the other The first was a king high straight flush (almost a royal flush) and the hand after that one i hit a nine high straight flush. Dont remember how much cash i got out of it, but it wasnt much. That was in real life, online a few months ago i folded 34 of diamons and the flop came 5 6 7 diamonds I think i still have a screenshot of that situation, i might put it on later.
Getting a straight flush is cool...but i havent been able to cash in on it.
