Surprise, Surprise

[GeoffM]

Not bad, now if only I could catch a royal.

[Kurn]

I've been playing regularly online for more than 3 years and didn't catch one until a few weeks ago. This makes 2 in less than 2 months. I think I need to go out on the links and see if I can catch a hole-in-one.

[GeoffM]

I've caught a few queen and king highs, and this is playing O8, where the odds are probably a bit higher, but am still seeking my first royal.

[Talking Poker]

I went a year and a half of regular online play without hitting a royal. I was at a home game, saying how I had never hit one, etc. The next day, I hit my first. three days later, another... meaning at the home game the next week, I had hit two since our Royal Flush conversation one week earlier.

Haven't hit once since.

Apparently PokerRoom is where you want to catch them though.

Sweet surprise indeed!

I just hit another RF.
