I'm wondering tho what were the odds of me getting this royal? I think I've read that the odds of getting a royal with a 5 card deal are something like 650000:1, but what about in a 7 card game like holdem, especially having to hit runner runner.

Well, on the flop u had 2 cards to come with 47 left in the deck. 2 in the deck will make the royal...So the prob of the runner runner is 1/C(47,2) = .000925, or odds of 1080:1...Boy u got lucky!

(2/47) * (1/46) = .000929 or about .929 times in 1,000 or about 1075:1 'ish.

You play gooooood.

Of course, you did have 13 nut outs on the river.

here's the other part of the question: what're the odds of ending up with a royal flush when you've got AKs in the blind if you stay in the hand the whole time. the answer is (C(47,2))/(C(50,5))= 1/1960
