When was your last Royal Fush?

[len01]

I have never hit that hand, back in the day when I played poker online and sometimes at regular casinos I hit several poker hands but never a royal flush or even a straight flush, it is disappointing but it is to be expected as the probabilities of doing so are so low, still since you can even win the pot when you have no matching cards as long as your opponent does not have any matching cards either then this is not much of a problem.

it's all because the existence of a Royal flush is very rare as the OP said.
Cards that often come out in online poker are usually only One Pair, Two Pair, Three of a Kind and the highest Full House but very rarely comes out. so expecting a Royal flush or Straight flush in online poker is really very difficult to get.
yes it's true that someone will be able to win the pot when they don't have the right cards, but it all depends on playing strategy. in offline poker even though I don't have a suitable card and only a Hight Card, I will sometimes hit all in to scare off opponents.

Like every poker thread, this thread is getting occupied by the people who never played poker (and the ones who don't have a clue about what poker is...). When I read some comments I am not sure if should I laugh or cry!

Good luck poker players, see you at the tables!

or maybe laugh until you cry.

even though the game of poker is very easy to play. but sometimes someone just wants to comment without having experience.
game name royal flush

I used to play cards a lot back in the day but it's just games among friends and not against a casino banker. I've hit a straight flush in a few occasions but never a royal flush.

I remember it like it was yesterday, I remember because my bluff really worked very well as well. Someone had a straight, and I had a flush, and he kept on raising the bet each turn as well, which makes sense because if you have a straight then there is a big chance that you will win, he had the same cards that I had, but different colour whereas I had the same colour, so mine was royal flush whereas his was just a straight.

An Ace-high straight vs a Royal flush then? I wonder what was your strategy that time. Did you just call his raise? I could have gone all-in or re-raise since he looks very confident with his hand based on your story.

As much as I want a royal flush, I have never actually gotten one. I suppose that the odds of getting a royal flush are extremely low. Beyond minuscule. And honestly I would not ever count on getting one. But man, how amazing of a feeling must it be to win with a hand like that? At that point when you realize how good your hand is, you plan a strategy of going all in without alerting anyone of your imminent and indisputable win.

I think thats also just as hard. Imagine if you got a royal flush but everyone else folds because you go all in too soon? What a shame that would be..

And that's what they call 'The nuts', is that moment in poker when you realize that you have the best possible hand with the current cards on the table. And to have Royal flush as the nuts would be something epic.

I don't think to go all in would be the bets move, that would make your opponent fold. the best way would be to go slow, first check and see if the opponent wants to do a bluff, and if he doesn't,t then play as if you have the intention to bluff him.

In terms of the poker games I have never that Royal Flush in my hand during the time I played poker most of the flushes, Pairs, and etc.
Because in the actuall games it's been really hard to get this combination actually. Only a lucky person can able to have this
Royal flush I think.

This is actually very, very rare to happen in the players that's the reality.

I always play poker with my family and friends but I haven't had that royal flush in my entire gambling life. No money is involved because I know in myself that I don't have lucky hands when it comes to poker. I just play with other card games in casinos where I could feel luckier like blackjack. I agree that this lucky flush happens to lucky people but I hope to get at least a single combination of this in the future.

My experience, playing 3 poker on "Evoulition Games"

The highest things I ever hit only "Straight Flush" with 3 card but it's only pay me 5x ~XD since it's only 3 card. But still a good think can hit this on PokerGames Evolution, meanwhile (Side-Bet) Straight Flush in BJ already hit a few time.

Really good experience.

I've had this hand in poker a few times already. But it wasn't a poker game that involves money. I am not a serious poker gambler as I doubt my skills but I love to play it. I cannot remember the exact moments but I'm sure I had this one already. I used to play poker with friends. I also played many poker games online. I also used to play poker through apps. I used to love playing poker against real people when Zynga was still popular on Facebook.

Many can relate with it. It's crazy on how we can get amazing combinations if we are playing for fun only or no real money are involved but by the time we step up on the real thing, the results that we are getting were mostly sucked. It's like someone or something sabotage us or are playing tricks with us.

So, you are right that if you have a doubt with your skills then better not try to attempt because I am afraid that you will only lose money and it will cause you some psychological issues which will make you play more. I remember Zynga poker in Facebook. I miss those times though but now I think there are no games in Facebook anymore. Sad ;(.

I'm guessing with how rare that combination ever comes, no one in this forum or at least one or two at most have ever played that in all forms of Poker. And that is me already being generous. Personally, only ever played a straight flush once and not with that combo too. Although I'm guessing the odds that were mentioned in OP's post could be from a regular game of on-hand poker, I am not sure if variations could happen when Poker is played online but I'm guessing it could be possible considering that you can literally program the odds of it coming up in a game, regardless of whose hand it lands. With on-hand poker it's very hard to hedge the bets to your favor but online, it's a possibility.

In holdem I've landed one once but I was only holding 1 of the cards, the other 4 came on the flop and river.  I've never in all the years playing was in a hand where even the other player had a royal flush with 2 of theor hole cards used in the flush.

^Nothing impossible with by your luck, actually I have hit that twice when I was playing poker and I know how is the feeling when you have that kind of card knowing that you are holding the highest hand in poker. The feeling that you are sure will win that round.
Royal flush, straight flush, and four kinds still consider me a strong hand in poker. When I have these kinds of cards I always call raise to increase the money on the betting pool. However, sometimes even if I don't have that kind of high cards bluffing sometimes will work.

[alegotardo]

And here comes the question. Had you ever hit that hand?

I remember I did 1 time in my life, and that's too lucky. I'm sure is almost impossible for anyone to hit it, you really need to play a lot of hands or be lucky as hell to get a royal flush, and that's why I'm starting this thread, let's see if someone else has got that hand in the past.

In fact it's something that happens once or twice in a poker player's life.
If it were to happen to me, I believe I would start to shake, break out in a cold sweat and hardly be able to remain calm.

So, about what I said above, I wanted to further reduce the probability you mentioned in the OP....
What is the possibility of someone getting this sequence in their hands, keeping calm, knowing how to bluff, tricking opponents and managing to take a lot of chips to their side?
0.00032% ? (I just added one more ZERO, which sure makes all the difference).

Anyway, a moment like that would certainly need to be recorded, I would ask someone to take a picture of me with them.

Well, what if the poker player is not experienced?, there must be a lot of n00b players in casinos all around the world getting that hand and being completely oblivious of how rare that is.

It might even be the case that since there are way more beginners than professional poker players, this hand will probably end up more frequently on a beginner's hand. Ironically, they would be really good at not making it obvious they have a great hand because they might not realize it.

have this multiple times but only in our local gambling , I mean playing in a wake of a friend (which is mostly our gambling bonding each time there is a deceased friends or family members) maybe at least  once a Week i come to win Royal flush and yes this makes me take all the bets for our local poker.

Dang, that's one rare hand! I've never hit a Royal Flush, but I've definitely come close a few times. Hitting a big hand like that is always exciting, but the odds are definitely not in our favor. I haven't played that much, but I'm still hoping to hit one day. It would be cool to hear some other people's stories of hitting a Royal Flush.

maybe I am lucky enough to have this on hand  , but in casino house or even in online card games? never that I come to have this flush.
