Our family love a good game of poker at Christmas and yesterday was the first time ever we have had one of these crop up

Who had what? or was that what came down on the table?

Cosimo · 29 Dec 2010 at 12:42

I bet someone was flushed.

Nice

I've had one once and pretty much jumped out of my seat when I saw it (king and jack in my hand). Took the guy with a full house to the cleaners.

Still miserably lost the game

I thought this thread was going to be about Her Majesty's toilet habits.

Table was delt Heart Q 10 J
Club ace came out next
Then Heart Ace came out next to our astonishment, but did anyone have the king?

Amazingly one player had the king of hearts and another king of diamonds so there was plenty of betting to say the least

It was merely a flash in the pan.

the Kd holder must have been silly, any heart would have beaten his straight. Also with a paired board (especially Aces) a full house could have been a possibility

it was quite humerous to say the least, the Kd holder thought the Kh was bluffing

I was once 1 card off

Still got a straight though!

Beating 4 A's!! Nice

lookitsjonno · 29 Dec 2010 at 12:58

blimey you'd be gutted being beaten holding 4 aces!!!

Morba · 29 Dec 2010 at 13:02

I know the odds are crap when you let pocket aces goto the river, but to improve on the hand so much over the 5 cards and still lose, killer. You can only smile and walk away, then shoot the dealer in the car park later!

Rotty · 29 Dec 2010 at 13:03

I have 1 live and 3 online, real ones though with 2 cards in hand

Building Candy · 29 Dec 2010 at 13:16

only once, and I dont play much!

Morba · 29 Dec 2010 at 13:18

on play money as well, so you didnt make anything from it

I used to sell pokerstars virtual chips

Odds of a Royal Flush are ~1 in 650,000 hands, you will have seen almost a 1000 Full Houses before seeing a Royal Flush :eek:

I've dropped one Royal Flush. It was the 2nd hand of the night and I put out the hosts nephew, joining us for the first time

It's the only real-life RF I've seen, and I managed to keep a lid on it until the hand was finished. He was playing on Aces hoping for 4oak or full house, didn't hit but still pushed all in. Rookie

Never seen one, or had one.

haven't really played poker for a little while though. Looking to get into it again in the new year!
