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.

Congrats iceberg.
I have done my first one a year ago.
By now i have like five or six.
