Go me first Royal Flush  td jd qd kd Why did it have to be in a $2 tourney

[HaworthBantam]

Fantastic !

In our home game on Saturday night we saw a Royal Flush, unfortunately the recipient didn"t get paid as much as he was hoping  

In six and a half years of playing live poker I"ve only ever seen 2.

[davef86]

I"ve never seen one live. Best hand I"ve seen is 4ofk Aces. I did have two in the same online MTT a while back. It was limit and the river bet wasnt called on either...i showed both though.

[janc]

the first one i hit was at the stardust hotel in las vegas on a $3/£6 table, i had stopped smoking three weeks previously, started again that night. lol

[Bodddders]

Been playing (online mostly) for about three years and have yet to see one or have one myself.

Sometimes wonder if I should start playing JQs more often?

[Phil_Crozier]

jqs is like my bogey hand just gets me into trouble, went out in luton on it and generally just throw it away now

[asarge]

Nice one Phil...

iv never seen one myself, although have hit a straight flush once -  
and typically it was in a $3.00+$0.30 tourney

nice that you got someone all in as well with it!!!

[biffa85]

nh, seen one royal online, and had a K high live, but still waiting for my royal live.....maybe I"ll get it at the national?

Ditto, except nearly 2 rather than about 3.

I have, however managed to knock myself out of at least half a dozen tournaments when I"ve been on a Royal Flush draw (it"s a leak in my game, I know, but it"ll go away after I finally get one )

[Bodddders]

Know what you mean Jon. Just went out of a tourney sitting 7th out of 18 left. Get dealt Kd7h in big blind all check. flop 10JAd. I check chip leader goes all-in and as I"ve never had a royal I call. He shows 2 pair and the turn and the river are both spades. One day please one day. Sometimes it feels like a monkey on your back.

[HannibleL316]

I"ve seen 1 online. Never live.
And I"ve had a K high straight flush online.

Best hand I"ve had live is quad 5"s.

[H-Man81]

I once lost a reasonable sized pot online cash when I had K8 OS in BB and flop came  kc  ks . Slowplayed it to milk it for its worth, turn came  tc, river came  ac.  After I pushed all in other played turned over  jc qc.  Fell into a catatonic state when I saw his cards    

[Swinebag]

have had a royal online and didn"t get paid

best live was a wheel flush and got paid handsomely by a nut flush (except it wasnt - you know what i mean) and a straight.

All i needed was 2 boats to pay me and I could have called myself "James Bond"!!

[Mikeyboy9361]

I hit one on a Poker Stars play money table when I was learning the game, but didn"t know how to show it. Guess what? No one believed me!

[Garth Maul]

Nice one. Always nice to hit one. Had one myself earlier this year. Yes, I may be sad but they come around so little I had to keep a copy of the hand history:
