Hit another Royal Flush today.

I think this is like the 6th or 7th Royal I've hit playing online, how is this possible? I asked on another site for people to estimate how many hands I've played since 2006. The answer I got from most people was between 2 and 3 million hands. I play 8 to 10 hours a day almost everyday, three to four tables at once.

I'll never forget my first one, it was on PokerStars, I called my Nephew to watch (he was playing on a different table) and guess what, I timed out. It has to be somewhere near the top of the "Dumbest" things I've ever done.

This is gonna sound dumb, but are all of these in holdem? I ask because i play a lot of omaha and i saw 5 in one week.

All in Hold'em ,,, very seldom play Omaha.

I think the odds of a royal happening in Omaha is close to to holdem. Although there are more "hands" being played at once in omaha vs. holdem, the fact that you must use two cards from your hand actually makes it happen less often (per 2 card hand). Regardless, seeing 5 a week in any variation of poker is pretty wild.

I hit a few of them, but they are very very rare in holdem!

Congratulations. Royals can seem more common by the amount of play that you put in. I think they're more common in the Omaha games.

That's a great story about timing out while you were calling your nephew!
