What are the odds of a royal flush in Hold\'em?
I hit my first royal flush ever on Saturday night in a home game. I checked my various poker books and could not find an answer. My latest Golf Magazine had an article comparing poker and golf. It compared the odds of hitting a hole in one with the odds of a royal flush and said the answer was approx. 64,000 to 1. Since I don't trust Golf Magazine when it comes to poker odds, I thought I would ask the smartest poker players that I know, the 2+2 players.
