Flopped a Royal Flush ... Almost

[DontTellMama]

I've been playing online for more than 1 1/2 years and never seen a Royal Flush. The other night, a conversative fold to a preflop raise broke my heart. While I did win the tournament, I'd rather have flopped the Royal.

In the 19th hand of a $20 SNG ... the following occured.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP3 (t175)
CO (t2845)
Button (t465)
SB (t785)
BB (t550)
UTG (t735)
UTG+1 (t755)
MP1 (t870)
Hero (t820)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls t30, MP3 folds, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t125</font>, Button folds, SB calls t110, BB folds, Hero folds.

Flop: (t310) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets t125</font>, SB folds.

Final Pot: t435

UGH!!!

Good fold. Sadly no one wants to see this, and no one will want to see when you do flop one.

You may however post if one shows up on the board. Thats only been covered once to my knowledge, and I've seen it happen another time.

Wow, I have only about 7000 hands total in PT, and have already hit a royal. Last week at the Borg I saw two at my table in one session.
