Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
 

From his most recent blog:

>>>From there I played a few coin flip situations. The first one I raised from late position with Ad Kd and the big blind moved all with Qc Qs- I called.

The flop came Qd Jd 6d giving me the nut flush and my opponent top set. The turn was a Q giving him quads and I was thinking, "Will my first ever royal flush be up against quads?" Nope.<<<

I really don't play poker all that much. I just started two years ago, and in that time, I've had four royal flushes. How can a well seasoned pro have never had one?

Has he had a few and was trying to sound cool in his blog?
Has he not played as many hands of poker in his life as I have? (I really hope that's not the case, because it will depress me if it is)
Any other reasons for this?

I've been playing for 3 years about 5000 hands a month, and never had one. My son had one playing hold'em when we were playing in a home game. That's the only one I've ever seen.
So I don't think it's very common.

I had one playing video poker when I was 16. I haven't had another one since, and I'm 38 now.

Edit: Not counting PLO.

I think this one line could be a possible response for any thread on any subject on 2+2.

my first and only royal was playing triple draw.

I beleive him... but would say it depends on how much he plays online...

I have had a few royal flushes online (even folded one of them by mistake!), but if most of your play is live (like i assume his is), it would be much less likely that you would hit a royal as all these 4-8+ tabling TAG's here at 2+2

I had one playing chinese poker once.

Mason has a nice little story about his days playing draw poker in California. In all his years of playing, he was dealt a royal flush only once. Too bad he was playing draw lowball.
