Re: just popped my cherry!
I remember my first royal. I've had a few since. It was on Paradise, either 0.50/1.00 or 1/2. I misplayed it because I didn't realize it was a royal. I knew I had an ace high flush, but the board paired on the river. I bet the river, another player raised and I just called because I though my flush might be beat by a full house. My opponent had a full house, but the pot went to me. I thought wtf? and then looked ad the chat window where it said I had a royal flush. Doh!

First hole in one is far better, as it is completely due to your skill, not some random shuffle of cards. [/ QUOTE ] sometimes not. I once hit a terrible shot in the teeth at a par 3 that bounced low and off to the right. The ball then hit a rock, bounced back on the fairway, rolled down a hill onto the green creeping up to the hole. It looked like it was about to go in but stopped literally on the lip. Thank God! I wouldn't want my one and only hole in one to have been with that shot! |

Re: just popped my cherry!
My first royal I wasn't so happy. I had A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and the board was:
K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I was playing a freezeout with my bro in law, and I was just learning so of course I slowplayed it like Mike McDermot, and he checked behind the whole way postflop. I've had about 5 since, and each time it's just like 'meh' The problem is, if the board isn't paired the best your opponent can have is the third nuts with a 9-high flush. I never seem to win much. |

Re: just popped my cherry!
I've had two royals, both on Party.
One was at a high hand jackpot table and scored me 2k. Pretty lucky considering I've played about 40,000 ring game hands and only 400 have been at the jackpot tables. |

He got a hole in one on the first 130 yard par 3. He may as well have kicked the ball because it worm-burnered down the fairway and up onto the green to plop into the cup. I agree, pure skill. |

Re: just popped my cherry!
I've had 2 royals before. For me straight flushes are better money makers. You have the guy with his A/K(possibly Queen) high flush betting like mad.
