    Firstly, many congratulations Barry - nice one.

    In Texas Hold 'Em, the odds of flopping a royal flush are 649,739/1.
    The odds of making a royal flush by the river are 30,940/1.
    (This assumes that you never fold your hand before the river when a royal flush is possible and also includes the fact that the royal flush might come on the board).

    I don't know how much you play Barry but I'll make some assumptions here.
    I'm guessing that you don't multi-table and let's say that you play 5 hours a day EVERY day (including Christmas) at a table where you get 50 hands per hour (which is around the average for online poker).

    Then you would play about 91,250 hands a (non-leap!) year and you would expect to get five royal flushes in 619 days which is a bit more than a year and eight months.

    I know this isn't quite what you asked me but I hope it gives you some indication that you are way ahead of schedule when it comes to catching royal flushes! Always one step ahead of the field, eh?
