, and the other time in a home game when I went to the bathroom and my friends set me up to flop a royal flush in the next hand and watch my reaction as they all folded - it was one of the best pranks that ever happened during a poker game

Ha ha ha ha. This is awesome!!! So glad I read it.

I'd have to disagree. I'm pretty sure I've won way more with my Royal Flushes than I've lost with my Royal Flushes. Oh that's right... I've never lost a cent when I've had a Royal Flush. It can be more difficult to get paid off in a big pot, but not always. Lots depends on our image, play history vs. villain, etc

Haha fair point 😄

You’re technically right, you can’t lose with a royal flush… it’s the untouchable crown

What I meant is more about expected value. It feels like the hand shows up so rarely, and when it does, the board often screams danger so loudly that everyone runs for cover. You end up winning a small pot with the strongest hand in poker, which feels almost… criminal 😅

But yeah, table image and history matter a lot. Against the right opponent, especially someone who thinks you’re capable of bluffing big, you can absolutely get paid. Those are the sweet moments where the royal flush actually lives up to the hype.

Still, I swear most of mine end with me betting into thin air 🤣

Good morning everyone, I started playing poker in 2018, I made around 6 straight flushes, royal flush I think it was 2 or 3 times and, interestingly, despite being a very rare hand, most of the time I won many chips, because the villains also made strong hands. There is one that is unforgettable: it was at the final table on 888poker with 9d8d, board 7d 5d 6d and the villain with 4d 3d, what is the probability of 2 players making a straight flush in the same hand?

I've gone out a few times with Royal aboard, but only once did I manage to get a paid all-in bet.

In Texas Hold'em: The probability of a royal flush is approximately 1 in 30,000 hands.

For it to occur at least once:

To have a 50% probability, you need to play about 20,800 hands.
For a 75% probability, about 41,500 hands.
For a 90% probability, about 69,000 hands.

It is a difficult thing to get there, but we must not lose hope, at any time it can come. I have made the ladder, of the same suit but low.

Yes, I had a royal flush a couple of times. It's a very rare combination. The first time I won a big pot, and the second time I didn't get paid 😢

I don't believe this first statement is accurate. What is this based upon? All players seeing the flop? And all cards being dealt to river, every single hand?

I think when calculating the odds of us hitting a Royal Flush I think we need to calculate things in like "if we're playing VP$IP 25% (or XX%), in a 6max game" or whatever parameters need to be input for what game we're playing (9 player MTT, 6 man Cash game, etc. etc)

Yes! Only when I played with free chips.

Yup me 2! One with spades and the other one with diamonds! Of course everyone folded but 1 player who was allin preflop with hardly any chips the other one was a big win knocking out 4 players! One on Abzorba free poker site the other was DH Poker. Both are free poker rooms. Haven't yet for real money online but I have hit straight flushes several times on different poker sights.

I actually would have hit in hands I folded a couple times. That was very frustrating to watch. I think it was 6, 3 in the sb I folded to a raise preflop! 2, 4, 5 was the flop! 🫣🙃

Got it for 7 times in a 9 years

monkeytilter · Apr 18, 2026

A few times over the years, hit a nice one today

chicbulls2 · Apr 18, 2026

Silversurfer99 · Apr 18, 2026

Once. But it was a tiny pot 😄

Tadi · Apr 18, 2026

I have won a Royal Flush more than 10 times, and here is the proof for one of them.

It was an AIOF (start of their 'live tour' path) , you start with 50 tournament chips when the blinds are 10k/20k. I guess I should switch from showing BB in that one😜

Not yet, but hopefully soon

LUKADONCICMVP · Apr 20, 2026

yes but I played million hands lol

anasslaaleg · Apr 20, 2026

That one moment where everything lines up perfectly rare, clean, and unforgettable.
Still chasing mine… but that’s part of the thrill

thedarkman · Apr 20, 2026

Many, many times, but Omaha is a different kettle of fish. My favourite is attached. I nearly folded it!
