How many Royal Flushes have you had?

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.

Zero...2 straights.

I assumed he was asking about 7 card non wild card games, like Hold'Em and Stud. Throw in the crazy home games (or Royal Hold'Em for that matter!) and who can keep track?

[Dodoubled]

Oh, I'm sure he was, too.

I've only ever seen one in my life, and that was live at the Borgata a couple of years back. A dude right next to me got one. Four spades on the board, and he had the Ace. They actually gave him a hat, which I will confirm, isn't half as cool as the TP hats.
