When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

I mean, I've played like 50,000 hands already! C'mon!

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

you have a long way to go

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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

UB. Royal Hold'em.

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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.

I got both in the same day once.

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.

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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..

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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.

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

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.

Re: When the hell do I get my Royal?
 

I've had 1 in whats got to be close to a million hands, no sh!t.
