VNH!!
In our last home cash game, my wife hit a King High Straight Flush and a couple of hours earlier I hit a 9 high straight flush. It was pretty cool!
The only time I have ever had one was playing a single table $40,000 sit'n'go play money tournament at poker stars. After leading in for the first few minutes talking about how awesome I am I lost all but my last chip on the 3rd hand to runner runner flush. The chat box went crazy. Next hand I was all in for my last chip and caught a royal flush to quadruple up to $20 (started with $1,500). I then proceeded to tell the table how silly they will look when I take them each out one by one. I won that tournament.
I have never hit a royal or a straight flush. I'm hoping I make up for it by hitting them several times in a single tourney
In my poker playing lifetime of 6 years, I have hit a Royal Straight Flush twice on an online poker site & I have hit a Straight Flush five times in real home games.
It is great when you hit these hands, you will never forget them.

LOL. How many times have you dealt this to yourself in the homegames =D
odds on hitting a Royal Flush = 1:640,740
Multiply by 5 Royals in home games = 3,248,700 hands played
at 25 hands per hour (a very strong estimate) = 129,948 hours played
at 40 hours in a work week = 3,248.70 weeks
or 62.47 years.
So in summation. If you played in home games 40 hours a week and managed to put in 25 hands per hour it would take you 62 and a half years to hit 5 Royal Flushes on expectation.
Now don't take this the wrong way. I am not calling you a liar. But......

Your pants are on fire.
LMAO....No offense taken.
I have been playing A LOT of online poker in the last 6 years, (play money).
I have also been hosting a regular home game for over 5 years now and you would be amazed at some of the hands that my poker group has been seeing.
That same night 2 weeks ago when my wife and I both hit straight flushes, I also hit quad 10's twice! This was a NLHE cash game that started at 8 pm and ended at 4 am. It was a crazy game.
I guess that it must sound hard to believe, but it is true!

I'm not calling you lacking in reading comprehension ability but....he said 5 straight flushes not Royals.
Best hand ever for me was turning the A high flush against opponents straight flush, getting it all in (oops) then rivering the one outer for the Royal (yay) - live.

That is both absolutely sick and totally awesome at the same time.
I remember seeing on a televised game one time when somebody had quads and was beaten by a straight flush. Was it Jennifer Harman who had the quads? I don't really remember now.

I have only hit the King high straight flush once...and have logged about 80,000 hands online..lol..
Hit quad 8's twice the other night in our home game though..and they also quadded the board once.
I have had pocket aces three times in a row, followed by pocket kings the fourth hand online...
Is this a form of "variance"?
Made a straight flush.......lost the hand, and didn't win the bad beat.
Now that was a bad beat.
(had Ad Ac....board ran out....2d3d4d5d)......he had 66
