I\'m Holding A Pity Party
I now have around 160,000 online hands under my belt. I have never had a Royal and bitch about this all the time. I know when you get one you probably won't get paid off, but it's the luster of the hand and me not getting one. It is my personal unicorn.
I have looked at my past PT stats and while I have never got a Royal, I have also never folded a hand that had I played, would have got me a Royal. Not even some 1 card junk. Well, today my moment happened. Sadly, I missed the train : Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx IggyWH ($103.50) SB ($142.05) BB ($100) UTG ($141.15) UTG+1 ($62) UTG+2 ($103.85) MP1 ($32.65) MP2 ($172.20) MP3 ($90.85) CO ($120.95) Preflop: IggyWH is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, IggyWH calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">SB (poster) raises to $1.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $5</font>, IggyWH folds, SB calls $4. Flop: ($13) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets $1</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $10</font>, SB folds. Final Pot: $24 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> No showdown. BB wins $24. </font> ----------------------- Damn BB was brand new to the table so I was scared to raise in a position raise/steal attempt. Had I raised, maybe he would have just cold-called or made a small reraise that I would have had to call. STUPID STUPID STUPID! |

Re: I\'m Holding A Pity Party
If it makes you feel any better, I've gotten 4 or 5 in my <150k hands of online poker.
I did fold a JTs preflop once that flopped a royal so I know how you feel. |

Re: I\'m Holding A Pity Party
i've had over 100k hands and looking back over my PT databases I had one hand that would have given me a royal.
Something like Kx where I would have runner runnered it. I have also only achieved like 3 straight flushes over the course of this time. Big hands don't like me. |

Re: I\'m Holding A Pity Party
i've made a couple of royals online. one was at pokerroom and they had a "royal diamonds" promotion. you hit a royal in diamonds, and you get $500 and everyone dealt gets $50.
funny thing is, i didn't even know about the promotion until after it happened, the guy i beat in the pot typed in "we all get $50." i asked some questions, checked my account and sure enough, they gave me $500 within minutes. it's a good thing i bet the turn and river and got called, because i think the pot had to be a certain number of bets before they would pay. tripdad |

[/ QUOTE ] As much as you'd love to beat yourself up about it, played any differently, you wouldn't have gotten the same flop. Still, though. I've never gotten a royal except one time I folded an offsuit jack, flopped a 4-royal so many times, and this is on pokerroom where they pay big riches! Party has no such thing, do they? |
