    wow, one is rare(ive never seen one on any table ive been on), but 2 back to back.
    The odds of that must be astronomical

    Actual royal flushes or just draws? The title says one thing but the post implies another

    Actual Royal flushes not draws..back to back. I have seen a few over the years, even had one myself, but 2 of them back to back...odds on that?

    I tidied the post up to be clearer.

    1 in 700,000 for one Royal Flush so the odds of two full stop let alone back to back are extreme - I dont even know how to begin working it out!

    Maybe they will show them on TV sometime, then you can all watch me lose a bundle of chips to one of them :)

    700000 to 1 squared

    so pretty astronomical! Put it this way you'd wish you stuck a pound on it!

    Thats the problem with a straight/royal flush - its so hard to get paid with it unless someone else gets a monster.

    Were you playing Deuces, one-eyed-jacks and red sevens wild?

    Ahhh - wild cards. They take me back to some dodgy games played in pubs.

    LOL

    Nah just a regular cheap MTT early morning with a coffee. Was unreal. The guy who had the first said it was the first one he had ever had, and we were all sayng "well done" stuff like that, then the short stack went all in and me and another guy called him I had a rag A, just to knock him out. I figured on a split pot between me and the other guy when the cards came down...turns out the all in guy tripled up with another Royal...was unreal!!

    Would love someone to work out what the odds of it are for back to back Royals..must be millions to one?

    If it's 700,000/1 for 1...

    It's 490,001,400,000/1 for 2 in a row -

    That's Four Hundred and Ninety BILLION, One Million and Four Hundred thousand to one.


    Think of it this way, there may only be a few people in the World to have ever had 2 Royal Flushes in a row.
