Ive had 7 royal flushes, but then Ive been playing for 2 years.
Most memorable was a royal flush against Paddy Hicks house of Jacks over Aces in the 100FO

7!? wow, thats a lot.
in 2.5 years playing online poker i've only ever had one (which strangely was after i'd only been playing about 6 weeks. used both my hole cards too.
i've only ever seen a royal flush twice more after that (although i might have missed 1 or 2 while not concentrating on the table/multitabling)

I've had 2 I believe, and a fair few straight flushes.

7 royals for me too -- several straight flushes and countless quads. 4 of the royals were hit in freerolls when I found myself short stacked with hands like Q10s K10s J10s. rest of them hit in cash games, I'll never forget the last one because I missed a $450 bonus since a promotion ended 2 days earlier

Play more Omaha!

Not very familier with it..... you start with 4 hole cards but can only use 2 with 5 board cards..... i think thats the basic principal anyway..... Yeah the odds would be a bit better alright...

i had one in omaha on betfair, and got a bonus for it, which i didnt even think applied to omaha, so that was nice.
However, i did once run into one when i had quad queens, that really hurt.

I've had several quads over the last year of playing online. Never seen a royal but I have folded 2 what would have been straight flushes (pre flop). Both were 2 - 6 diamonds and both were in a few days of each other and both were annoying!

That just goes to prove that you've been running lucky!

I'd 2 straight flushes (one a royal) online once at the exact same time while only playing 2 tables. Ok they were Omaha tables but it's still poker (usually).

Ive never had a Royal Flush playing hold em. Ive had quads too many times to count, including three in the one night.

Ste05

I've had 2 royal's but only in small cash home games, both in the space of a week, but never on-line or anywhere I could make some money from.

Also have had Quads plenty of times,

Nalz

Folded with suited QK...bullied off the table the other night

dont have to tell you what the flop was:(

a-k-47

quads from 2 to Ace online, few str8 flushes online and 1 ofline. 2 quads live 8,s k's hole card kk. and one royal flush live 5 card stud which i think is the toughest royaler to get.

RasTa

Never hit a straight or royal flush in live poker. Have hit four straight flush's with two of them being with j,9 suited(my fav hand) and one royal flush online.

The first time I ever played a STT on sporting odds, I was heads up and the guy (who I barely covered) raised about a quarter of his stack, I had KQs so I called. Flop gave me a royal flush. He went all in, (silly boy!) so that was a really nice way of finishing my first STT on a site
