I was almost certain he had some sort of K here. Was my shove standard or should I have just called along? Villain is 42/8/2.1 over 100 hands and has been loose post flop. Since he is loose should I have just played passively until I hit? I realize my flop raise was too small. I wasn't thinking to hard at the time. I need to work of focusing more.

I don't think there is a right way to play a RF draw. Honestly I would be willing to lose the hand just to try and catch it. Lord knows they only come up a few times in a lifetime.

Just to see one I would call it down because you have so many outs here, but playing wise get it in here, yeah.

On that note. The first poker game I ever played online I hit the RF. I thought it happened pretty often after that lol

RFs are nice but if you look at it objectively as you should it is merely just a combo draw (flush+straight+ sometimes overcards). You get nothing extra for hitting it (except at some casinos) but the ability to say to a friend, "hey friend, I hit a royal last night online," to which he will reply "cool, how much did you win?" to which you will sheepishly reply, "uh, five bucks." and he will say, "gay."

My point is, never play a hand simply because of an emotional high unless it is profitable. It is basically like going all the way w/AA no matter what.

I am curious to see what stove says and to know if it is best to shove flop or not. I am obviously going to at least call to river because I am pretty certain he will stack off with his hand when I hit. I put him on KQ, KJ, Kxs, 2pair or 44.

Well you do have 13-15 outs here depending on what you put him on and that's not bad especially when most give you the nuts here. Shoving is not bad whatsoever in this position.

But still...Royal Flush...I'd pay $5 to see it again.
