You can see ALL of that on the XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXLong Thread..... @goldon
This thread is for the times when we actually recognise when we get very LUCKY, hence the ( }
A couple of places quoted the same odds.
Isnt the explanation incorrect.
It suggests you have four chances to hit it.
Surely once you have been dealt your hole cards, you only have one chance.
So in the above hand if you are dealt KJh.
Then you can only hit a royal flush in hearts, and the other three suits are of no use.
Therefore shouldnt the odds be 2.5 million to one?
Indeed, it is possible to form 2,598,960 hands from a deck of 52 cards, but a royal flush can only be formed in one of four ways – clubs, diamonds, hearts or spades – so the odds of ‘flopping’ a royal flush are 2,598,960/4 or 649,739/1. In other words, according to one estimate, your chances of doing so are only marginally better than winning an Olympic gold medal during your lifetime.

....and you can obviously be dealt any two of the five cards that form the Royal Flush
But yes, once you've been dealt your cards, you only have ONE chance of flopping the Royal Flush
I better start training now

Thanks.
We should probably also recognise that the object of the game is to get your chips in when you are in front, rather than when you are behind.
The fact that you are able to post so many suck outs probably evidences the number of times you are getting them in when behind.
I am not going through all of the them, but the last hand you posted showed you to be last of three of the starting hands.
Nor am I setting myself up as a poker expert because I am clearly not.
Looking at the above, we were 3 handed.
You limped in under the gun, despite sla gging off limpers in the chat box at every opportunity.
You limp with 76off despite the fact I am very short stacked in the SB.
So I shove for my tourney life, which was very predictable.
Yet you then call with 76off.
Making the limping mistake into a bigger mistake.
What did you think you were beating?
45, 23, or 24, maybe?
Why limp in the first place?
If the object of the game was to get your chips in when behind, and suck out, it was brilliant.
If the object was to get me back into the game, it very nearly worked.
Had you quite rightly lost the hand I would have been back to 1670 chips, leaving you with just over 1900, and a squandered chip lead.
Yes we all suck out, but when we do, it is a mistake, rather than a celebration, lots of players find sucking out an embarrassment, despite obviously being grateful for the chips.
Getting them in while behind, and sucking out is unlikely to ever be a successful poker strategy.
In my view, when you consider the stupid options, shoving straight off would have been the least stupid, rather than limping, and then calling a shove.
What did you think the re-raiser was holding, K10, Q9, J7?
The A6 guy had only 272 chips left behind when calling the re-raise.
The AA guy only had 3k behind after re-raising.
So probably a shove pre-flop for his 6k, would have been better.
So if that was the case, do you still call with your KJ?
