I never had one, but recently read this article about a dealer who keeps track of all royal flushes he dealt (71 in 13 years)

I found the first story where a Royal Flush came up on the board in sequential order and people actually folded nearly unbelievable.

Has anybody ever seen a royal flush during a TV broadcast of a major event?
( I remember Jamie Gold once had a straight flush, but that was it.)

I've had 2 online, one in NLHE and one PLO8, both in cash games. Surprisingly, I got paid off on both of them. In NLHE, the guy caught a boat. In PLO8, I had AcKc, villian had 8c9c and the board was QcJcTc.

Live, I've never had one but lost with a boat to someone that had one. I've seen 1 or 2 other live ones.

My only one online was at Full Tilt, in a NLHE ring game of .05/.10. I won a pot of $1.65.

I had one in person, but we weren't playing for anything, just dealing out hands to each other to pass the time. It was Omaha Hi.

My only one was in sixth grade, (1980) on a field trip. I was playing for fun w/friends - teaching them to play 5 card draw, and was dealt one - I knew it was rare, but 27 years later I've never see one live since.

Hit one at a B&M last week got a free hat and a small pot.
It was the only real hand I had all day. I got rivered three times in big pots. it was not a good day.

I have had three of them, including two in one week.
I only got paid off on one of them when I rivered it to beat two pair.

Got my one and only t the Mirage in Vegas at a $1/$2 table. I was dealt Ah,Kh, guy across from me went all -in for like $35...drove everyone out. I called, he showed As,Qs . Flop came Qh,Jh,X, I had a good flush draw and hit the 10h on the turn....no bonus, no hat...just kept on truckin'.

My first was B&M, at the Grand Casino Gulfport. I got paid off OK (it was 4/8 Limit) and a nice jacket.

I've also had 3 online, 2 of them heads-up. I got paid off very well twice. The third time I knew I wouldn't get paid so I just checked it down to be able to show it.

This was my latest about 3 months ago. IIRC I made a pot-sized bet on the flop and he called. I checked on the turn, he bet, I raised, he re-raised all-in. Since I was pot-committed I just HAD to call at that point....

I've had one at my Friday night home game. Don't recall how much I won, wasn't high stakes.

I've also had a hole-in-one, not sure which was more lucky!
