Could someone tell me what the odds are of flopping a Royal Flush, as i acheived it while playing a Bounty Hunter satellite.
Thanks

    1 in 649,740

    ....having A, K, Q, J or 10 as the first hole card, is 20/52. The next hole card must be one of the other four cards of the same suit which make the royal straight, so 4/51. The three flop cards are 3/50, 2/49, and 1/48.

    That's correct for Hold 'Em. 

    With 4 hole cards to use in Omaha the odds must be lower. Is anybody smart enough to work that one out?

    BTW if you're holding suited broadway cards such as AK then the odds are 19599:1 of flopping the QJ10 same suit.
