It's a pain in the ass, that's what it is.

From my brief stay at the royal holdem table just a few minutes, it seems to be a form of Texas holdem using only the 10's, J's, Q's, K's, and Aces.

French holdem. You will get at least a straight every hand. Recommended strategy is to buy in for the max and play 100% vpip 100% pfr.

That's what I just did. Of course, it's not hard to do when you are not aware that you are playing royal holdem.

Suited means nothing.
Tens are equivilent to deuces.
Don't bet the river when the board is a straight unless you enjoy paying rake.
Two outers on the turn are 2/14 or 1 in 7 or 14.4% to hit the river.
Flopping a straight is worse than in Omaha.
If you can't figure out why you should raise the turn with a board of AKQJ and AA in the hole...
Fun to watch people who think it is normal Holdem.

There's several threads on Royal LH right now in the Other Poker forum.
