Daniel Negreanu Has Never Had a Royal Flush?

[TomCollins]

I had two royals in two days. I think it's the first times I've had one. The first one I flopped. The second one, I played the board [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

[illegit]

Yeah, i found it interesting that he never had one also.

Ok, since everyone is digging theirs out... how about the 6-card royal?

I beleive him... but would say it depends on how much he plays online...

I have had a few royal flushes online (even folded one of them by mistake!)...

So you're the one Ed Miller writes about in SSHE. Don't worry about it. Supposedly it's not as costly as poor preflop play.

How is this even remotely interesting? Wow, he has never gotten a royal, big [censored] deal. I'm sure there is a huge percentage of people who have never gotten a royal, this one guy just happens to be a good/famous poker player.

[Noo Yawk]

I've had 2 in 6 years. One in a 15-30 game where I won about 15 bucks and got a hat from Cantebury card club, and one in a 5-5 blind NL game where I won about 12 bucks.

Um, do you really need it explained? Is it not obvious? The more hands of poker you play the more likely you are to hit a royal at some point or another. Most serious players who have been playing for years have had at least one (I've had 2 in about 4 years of play). Thus it's interesting to note that one of the better players in the world has never had one, as you'd expect he'd play enough hands to have had one by now. It's not "OMGWTF?!?!!" interesting. It's "Hmm, interesting" interesting. If you don't think it is, then your probably don't think much at all.

[yoadrians]

I'm sure there are some pro golfers who have never had a hole-in-one, either.

[goofball]

in the party 5/10 I cracked both Aces full and quad kings with a royal. You can ask the dude about it.

[krabby5]

I finally saw one at a $30 bounty tourney at Doyle's Room....Some dude had pocket 10's and flopped a 10 on Doyle, himself..only to have Doyle river a Royal Flush...

Nice luck...he goes from thinking he will get a $250 bounty for busting out Doyle to getting River Royaled by the MAN himself!

funny stuff

as far as me...never had one...never will
