Re: Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
I've had not one but two in the last two months.
I either 4 or 5 total online. And I've only been playing very part time for not quite 2 years now. (Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.)

Re: Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
I've had 3 royal flushes in my life, 2 in hold 'em, one in 7 stud. I forget how the first happened, but the second was basically MP raises, I call on the button with AQ [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Flop came TJ [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]x, he bet, I raised, he called. Turn bricked, check check. River was the K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He bet, I pushed and he called with QQ.

Re: Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
Royal Flush -- this is kind of like the guy who caught two home run balls at the play-off game last week, while many people who go all the time have never gotten so much as a foul ball. Catching the homer ball means the baseball gods are with you. Hitting he Royal Flush means the poker gods are with you.
Personally -- never had a Royal, but I've had a couple of King-high Straight Flushes (Yawn) and enough Royal Flush draws at the turn or the river that I'm sure I'll hit eventually (Yawn Yawn).

It is entirely uninteresting to learn that someone has been on the other end of gigantic varience for getting a royal flush. I've had 1 royal flush, and I just as easily could have 0, or 5. Maybe he has had 10 king high straight flushes? I guess I'm in the minority here and should leave everyone alone to drool in amazement that daniel negreanu hasn't gotten a royal flush.....

Re: Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
I had an awesome one in April 2004, while I was trying to qualify for the WSOP on Stars.
I was heads up in a $80+6 SNG. Winner got a seat in the $650 super sat. He had the chip lead. He raised, I reraised all in w/ AQd. He called w/ KJc. Flop was Kd Jd 4s. Turn was the Jh. River was my one-outer, the Ten of Diamonds. So I took the lead, and of course the poker gods wouldn't let me lose the SNG after that. Charmed life, I tells ya.

Re: Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?
Anyone have the math of a rough rough estimate of how many hands that a live player(playing for a living, pretty much all year) compared to a mult-tablin online player?
It seems like that somewhere in all those years he would have hit one, but far from positive. I have to beleive he's hit a royal in Omaha, but then again I guess most of his years were spent at holdem and stud games before that.
