The Royal Flush

[CobaltBlue 662]

I have played a little over one million hands online and have had 3 royal flushes which is apparently above par since the actual odds are 1 in 649,740

Those are the odds of hitting a Royal flush with five cards. When you get seven or more cards, the odds are a bit better. I think you're actually underperforming a bit.I've hit nine. My guess is that I've played about 800,000 hands.Edit: Found a site that lists the odds as .00003232% in 7-Stud (which is the same number of cards as HE)...so that's 30,940-1. So if you dealt out 7 cards, you'd get a Royal Flush about that often. Obviously, most hands don't go that far. If you assume that 25% do, then you're looking at a holding a Royal ever 120k hands or so.

hmm, as i was watching that youtube video i posted above, i found this one ....can someone tell me how this guy sees this as 'proof' that pokerstars is rigged. Sounds like sour grapes to me...although i do like how hes customised the table...linkage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqYaqq_lDGA...feature=related

Driving distance..... (I knew you were going to ask that).And we do have these people called Indians in the United States. Most of them were driven from their homes, but the remaining have casinos on their ancestral lands. They have a bunch of these in California, and I'm sure they would welcome you with open arms. They are 18 and over, but most dont check ID. Your good unless you look like your 12.

With my shades on I look at least 19 but without glasses I look my age, maybe 17 or 18 if Im lucky. Im also very tall, lol.Now you've got me thinking, when I have enough cash do you reckon I should go to Vegas or California. There's no place for poker here in New Zealand and only a small minority actually plays, everyone else thinks poker players or the lowest, most seedy forms of society. (which really sucks for a kid like me, imagine what my mom said when she caught me taking all my friends money in a home game.)

I have played a little over one million hands online and have had 3 royal flushes which is apparently above par since the actual odds are 1 in 649,740I hit my first live royal flush last week in a home game which was pretty cool since I know I have not played anywhere close to 649,740 live hands.

Never tell me the odds...Ive had 3 live, seen 1 live, and had 3 on Pokerstars. Ive only been playing poker for 6 yrs.#1 - micro limit house game, first 2 months of playing, and we had a rule that you could not create a side pot when someone was all in (I won $1.37) This hand ended that rule.#2 - house tourny (busted a full-house) - My fav.My friend got one about a month later in same home game.#3 - I got one in a bar tourny (person folded 3 tens on the river)ALL three on pokerstars were in Freerolls/free sitngos, cause on-line poker is rigged.

I've had two on Pokerstars. They were both play money tables. I got one in 7 card stud. I was in the pot with somebody with a full-house. That was a pretty good pot. The other was in hold'em. I didn't win a very big pot there because the other person didn't have much.

I have only had one Royal Flush and only one of the cards in my hand counted on it. I was playing at a home game and was in my drunk super aggressive stage of my poker life. I raised huge preflop with AQ and the flop came out AKX. I moved all in and my buddy instacalled with pocket Kings. Runner Runner later and I had a Royal Flush just using my Queen. I ended up taking down the tourney I think and my buddy cursed to me about it for a couple weeks afterwards.

the wtf comment was not because I didnt understand what he was saying, the wtf comment was because I do not understand why he would be childish enough to randomly say something as low as that. What does my mom have to do with anything?

You see! That is a more classy flame than, "I f#ck your mom!haha Im so funny!". ! and its something I can actually laugh at cause its clever and witty, unlike, "I have sex with your mom". I have a good sense of humour but that shit is not funny. Who agrees with me on this and who thinks saying I f#ck your mom is all good, even though it is completely unwarranted and so far off topic that Pluto could probably post on this thread!

I dont think his BR wold justify spending thousands of dollars to fly from USA to New Zealand every weekend to f#ck a fifty five year old engaged woman. This stupid ass children's argumant is officially over. Unless you have some other smartass retort u'd like to throw into the mix? Maybe he has a private jet and he gives my mom first class tickets to visit him for his wierd sexual fantasies of bonking an old woman every now and then.Or who knows, MAYBE he has a time machine! lol

lol. Ok for some reason I found that funny.But theres one loop hole to this, old people dont use computers! I've only ever met a hand full of people over fifty who know how to send an e-mail, much less have cyber sex. Do you know people over fifty who are savvy technology users? How many can you actually name?
