You get your Royal on the day I catch a foul ball at a baseball game. Sorry.

Would this be a good time to mention that I got my first royal flush yesterday? Probably not. Didn't win that big of a pot with it, but I did get an extra $12.50 out of the deal for tying high hand of the day at my site.

It was a good day.

If royal hold em doesn't suit you play some omaha. I've had 3 or 4 in the last couple months.

I hit two royals within 5 hands of one another playing PL Omaha.

I've lost count of my royals, although I believe the number is 6. My best was 2 royals and 2 SFs in 30 hours..

I got a handful of royals within my first 10k hands. Poor you.

I've played ~150,000 and I still don't have a royal. Might even be way more than that, since that doesn't count the hands I played on the Boss network, Paradise, FTP and Pacific.

I've had 3, all in 2004. One in the Sahara in Vegas, and the other two in the same week on Party.

Hmmm, I just checked and it seems all 3 of mine were in tournaments on UB early on in my poker life. That's a little odd.

Got my first royal around 1900 hands.

Since then I've played another 17,000 tourney hands, 61,000 ring game hands on many different sites and have yet to see a 4th. I'm also pretty shocked to see that I've only got 2 straight flushes on record for tournaments. 3 royals and only 2 straight flushes? Weird...

I've got 8 straight flushes recorded for ring games, though I only saw the flop and showdown on 3 of them.
