![]() I was fortunate enough to make a royal flush in spades during the pokerstars $1,000 high hand of the day promotion. Unfortunately for me, Pokerstars apparently intends to define all royal flushes as being equal and several others were made in lesser suits. Does a Royal in spades beats a Royal in clubs? If anyone has seen simultaneous Royal Flushes (in stud), what was the ruling -- a tie or higher suit wins? Landon |

![]() AFAIK, suits only matter for the purposes of determining the bring-in. ie, if you and an opponent are "fortunate" enough to both make royals in the same hand, you chop the pot. |

![]() I have tied in a stud hand (at the Excalibur in Las Vegas) with a regular flush. I had something like AhJh9h7h4h and my opponent had the exact same flush in another suit. The pot was chopped. Suits are irrelevent in determining a winning hand. Pokerstars is handling the situation correctly. |

![]() My question though is just... How many Royal Flushes SHOULD be MADE in an hour based on the amount of hands played... if you say 50-70 (let's say 50 tables (only REAL money, being generous), and have avg 70 Hph, that's 3500 Hands... What are the Numbers... How many Royals should be issued? |

![]() I believe slightly under 1 royal flush per hour, assuming those are all hold'em 9 table hands. If you throw in some Omaha tables, then the average would go above 1 royal flush per hour. But that was a quick calculation, so it could be off! And this is assuming 9 player showdown, which does not happen in actual play, but it's close, since players usually do not fold a potential royal (TJs, etc...) preflop. Though I am counting hands where the user only uses 1 hole card. Which would again skew the numbers. - Tony |

![]() Yesterday pokerstars had an hour were 4 royal straight flushes were hit. The handnumber of the first one was 10120514. The handnumber of the last one was 10138257. That's 17743 hands in between (1 Royal/5914 hands). Is this a normal outcome or did some players got very lucky that particular hour. |

![]() Ok. Sorry my mistake. I looked it up now and you are right. But when I played yesterday pokerstars at the lobby separately displayed the high hand for the last 3h and 1 hour were displaying 4 royalstr8flushes + the handnumbers. That's when I wrote the handnumbers. I didn't look up the hands right away as I should. But it's still strange. Why would they do something like that. Displaying handnumbers for 1h when it actually was 5h between the hands???. |

![]() you misread. There was no hour with more than one Royal Flush. But there were 6 Royal Fulshes displayed in the "High Hand of the Day" (not hour). |

![]() suits don't matter. a royal is a royal. but even if they did, it's pokerstars promotion and they make the rules. maybe you should try just saying thank you. |
