Royal Flush

[oneill1970]

Good News:  Hit my first ever royal flush tonight!

Bad News:  Not a cash game, but a micro stakes 6 player SnG.  Villain folded to my river bet.

Good News:  Won the SnG!

Next one due in 2011 at this rate!

i wonder how many royals someone like doyle brunson has had in his 50+ years of experiance. probably just one or two i would say.

i was lucky enougeh to get one at a regional last season at walsall, using  td qd in the hole ....a few thousand hands since and no sign of another one.....

   Only just saw it was my 100th post - must be fate or something!

Seriously, though - had  ks  ts, flop came down with  :as:  qs and then  js arrived on the river.

By 2011, hopefully I"ll be at a $20 NL table full of deep stacked and board illiterate fish!

ive never had a royal flush, ive bluffed it only to find the opponent had the bugger.

Must have had 10 online easy plus loads more in Omaha although its more common there obv.

Had 6 Royals - 4 in SNGs and took huge pots every time. 1 in MTT and only had a shortstack in the hand to take a few chips from. 1 in a .50/1 cash game on a really chip-heavy table..... and having limped with JQs, I hit the royal on the flop, and managed to just pick up the blinds

I had a royal flush in the freeze-out in Blackpool at the end of last Month.
Made it on the turn and got bet into, guy checks the river
I unfortunately had to ask before i bet," Is there a payout for a Royal Flush?"

                 LMAO

That"ll teach me to check these things before hand, wasn"t really expecting to get one though.

In Birkenhead they have a kitty that builds up, Anyone makes Royal flush wins it, or you can get 10% of the kitty for a straight flush.
The main thing is though, the hand has to go to a showdown to win the money.
They actually had one time where a guy was checking it to the river and his opponent folded his hand(Perhaps didn"t want to show his poor hole cards?)
The fella never got paid, no showdown

That is why i had to ask the question, and even though i said it in a joking manner, as if a bluff, i couldn"t extract anymore chips.

Never mind, perhaps the next time :"(
