how many straight/royal flushes have you gotten? How long have you been playing?

I just got a royal flush and I realized its the only straight/royal flush I have had since I started playing back in August. I was curious and looked up the odds and its was ridiculous how small the chances were. I got 649,740 to 1.

I was wondering how many royal/straight flushes the people here who have been playing for huge periods of time for many years have gotten.

Like can you guys keep track, or what? I'm just curious as to how many the people here have gotten since they started playing.

Does this forum look like we're playing Zynga poker?

No-one is counting because it's not important.

Just the once here, 90,000 hands. I think it was hearts, but dont expect proof.

1 straight flush, below 10 high, ; 1 royal flush

somewhere in the neighborhood of 200,000 hands or so

Funny, the only royal I've had was also hearts. Suspicious.

it's a conspiracy, man

Edit: the number of straight flushes could be more than that, but the is the only one I remember because of the way it played out.

really?

We could be onto something here, anyone else found their royal flushes to be hearts.

If we get more proof, we could link it offer to 2p2p.

Rugged

i've had one royal flush in what i would estimate to be something like 200-250k hands lifetime. and (as a guess) 4-5 straight flushes.

Hmm, this is more of a community type of question.......

Or to be more clear this isn't important to improve yourself as a poker player.
!luck

Had 4-5 royals, str8 flushes I've lost count.

Had few royals, about five i think. Also had few straight flushes. And one straight flush beaten by a stronger straight flush. Beat that! Btw, Zynga poker is just great, makes me feel like a shark there.

I stopped counting after 2, that was the point I realised it wasn't important. But who doesn't remember their first? You wanna tell everyone. You think people care. My first royal flush I was holding JJ. It was hearts. Obv rigged.

makes me envious, I have never had a royal, 4 straights that I won, in about 300k hands (according to my DB, probably a little more if I count those that aren't in there). Am I due one royal soon? lol!

Not due a RF any more today than yesterday: each hand is still ~ 1 in about 650,000

I suggest you start playing any suited broadways from any position everywhere from now on. And ofcourse, if you hit a royal flush draw, even a backdoor royal flush draw, you go and make a runner-runner for it. Even a Forrest Gump would call it EV+ run. Ofc, u gotta play maximum number of 6max tables your client provides to do it the fastest way. Or even faster then the fastest way, maximum number of HU tables.

Trying to be funny?

"Trying to be funny?"

Succeeding, imo, it made me laugh.

My first royal flush was on the board.

Someone was sweating me - dranger, I think. I was already running ridiculously hot this session. This was the last hand on the last table. I already had 'sit out next hand' checked. Villain had AJ.

That's the only royal I remember. - 'bout 1M hands played.

several million hands, more royals and straight flushes than i can count or remember, just another hand to try to extract value with

this is possibly the most unimportant question ever for this forum.. i've had one, i dont care, and no one else does either.

and you are never 'due' for a royal... if the odds are 649,740 to 1, considering you will not play all suited broadways, and the fact that it is fair to expect that a certain number of the times you do play them your opponents will hold blockers, and the sheer number of hands dealt that simply cant hit a royal I doubt it would be unreasonable to expect to go for several million hands and never hit a royal..

everyone here must be a luckbox.. the consistently winning regs only do so cos they hit royals and no one else does.

I'd rather flop a NFD and overs than a royal flush any day. Getting paid with quads, str8 flushes and royals just doesn't happen enough.

just no. would much rahter have the quads or the straight flush its not close at all.

Indeed. I'd you want a monster payday, play small suited connectors and hit the straight flush. Say you have 6d 7d and the board comes 5d 8d Ac... 9d Ks. You'll probably get shoves from players with AK and the Ad high flush. I've had what I thought was the nut flush with AK suited and been absolutely stunned to see my entire stack going across the table to someone with the 4 and 5 of the same suit for the "lower" flush.

I usually end up stacking someone when I get quads too. The only time it doesn't pay well is when the quads come on the flop and there is no flush or straight draw by the turn.
However, if you have 77 and the flop is 7AK, turn is another broadway card and then the river is the case 7, you can make the best check-raise of your life.

Those odds apply to getting a royal flush if you were dealt 5 random cards. In hold'em, you obviously have a total of 7 cards to make a hand from, so royals are a lot easier (relatively) to get. With Hold'em, you can expect to have a royal flush once in every 30,940 times a game goes all the way to the river. I played 70,000 hands on zynga (where you nearly always see the river) and had one royal flush, but other people had two or more in less than 60,000 hands. Straight flushes come up on average once in 3217 hold'em hands. I had half a dozen. I only started playing for money 10 days ago (about a thousand hands so far) and I've already had one straight flush.

Just as a further stat, if you hold two suited Broadway cards, you will actually flop a royal flush on average once every 19,600 times. As you might have seen on TV, this happened to Tony G, but the flop was so scary for his opponents that he didn't get paid off.

Further snippet: Daniel Negreanu said on TV that he'd never had a royal flush in his career of playing 300,000 or so hands in live games. It was pointed out that he could play that many games online in 3 months or less. If you play for a few hours a day, you will lose count of how many royals you've had after 6 months.

You've made 3 posts and in 2 of the three you mention Negreanu. Do you have some sort of fixation or infatuation with him? Personally, I don't give a rat's ass what D.N. sais his favorite hand is or that he's never had a royal flush.

Lololol. Negreanu never having a royal flush, now thats a surprise......... no, wait, it isn't! The top of his range is 95o.

I pretty much never got a royal flush in > 1mil hands of playing cash but since I started playing CAP and some LHE I've gotten >10 in like 500kish hands

im still confused on how someone can come up with 649,740 to 1 when everyone has the option to fold

2 straight flushes, 1 royals. ~ 50k hands

true story, my k-high sf got beaten by a royal. needless to say, i paid him off
