Default My First Royal

I played few hands this morning on Titan and I got my 1st ROYAL FLUSH. I had a couple bucks starting and caught AhQh UTG and raised it 3BB. SB raised it to $1 and I just went all-in because I was only planning to play a few hands. LP and SB called so it was a three way pot. The flop came Kh-Jh-Td, Turn Th and River was a blank. EP showed J-J for a Boat, but was certainly disappointed to see my Royal Flush.

The very next hand I get garbage like 5s-2d on BB. I forget the exact flop, but the board had a 4d-5d-6d-7d and a blank. A guy in late position had the 3d for a STR8 FLUSH, but only took down a small pot because he hit it on the River. That's the wackiest cards I've seen on Titan (or any online site) ... ever.

After about a year and a half of online poker, I've hit all the hand ranks. I wonder what the odds are of hitting a Royal Flush starting with two of the five? It's probably somewhere in the order of 1 in 19,600 (50x49x48/3/2) to flop it.
