Default How many Royal Flushes have you had?

After 3 1/2 years of decently active play, I have accumulated 2 Royal Flushes. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to know who had the most on this site and what that number was...I am guessing that the max number is 4.

This was my second, and it wasn't that exciting...I only had one of the cards.

PokerStars Game #7067775682: Hold'em No Limit ($1/$2) - 2006/11/17 - 22:18:12 (ET)

I'm pretty sure I'm still at two, and they came in the SAME WEEK in the summer of 2004. The funny thing is, I was playing ay my regular home game and complaining that I had yet to have a Royal Flush online... By the next week's game, I had TWO of them.

And I haven't had one since.

Never, notta. Several straight flushes, including the ones I've made after folding 45s preflop. Those are my favorite. The closest I've ever come to a royal was actually in Let It Ride, when I was dealt the AK10 of spades and the queen was flipped. The river (do you call it that in Let It Ride) was the 8s, so I missed out on my 50 grand. But I walked away with a smooth 40 bucks.

Damn.

I've had three royal flushes in my year and a half of poker. Two on NLHE and one with Stud.

I've had 2 or 3. Speaking of which, the bonuses from Tropical were chopped all to hell, there was several dealt that same week, the monthly was something like $75 from a pool of $500.

Petty funny. I've only had 2, and they also came less than a week apart in the summer of '04.

Over the last two years I have had, ON AVERAGE, 2 Royal Flushes/week. Obviously this is not 2/week, but averaged out it is 2/week.

I once got 8 in a day and then 12 the next day....IT WAS SICK!

One, in which both of my hole cards played. I was at the Imperial Palace in Vegas, and was awarded a $40 dining credit, which I unable to use, but is pinned to the wall in my office. Plus the $16 or so pot of course.

At my local card room here in Seattle, payout for a royal start at $2k, and are often over $10k. Ah well.

I had a king high straight flush. The poor bastard betting in to me had the ace.

KT...flop was QJx, turn 9.

Man was he upset.

Big fat zero. I've had dozens of straight flushes but no royal. The funny part is that I'm defying the odds. Last december alone I logged in nearly 100k hands with no luck on the royal. I don't think I've had a hand that I folded which would have been a royal. Maybe my luck will hit when I got Vegas in a couple of weeks.

Check that ... I've had several. Usually in Chicago Low games, where I've managed to hold two or three wild cards. Usually, though, my Royals are beaten by the ever-so-vicious five aces.
