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

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.

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.
