    so everyone is saying it'll be weeks - and we get two on the same night! and I got a straight flush in the same tournament!

    No chance of two prizes in the first week - given how unlikely this was?

    I'm sure Tikay would say yes - if he wasn't looking for lost luggage.

    And it is my birthday today.

    Honest.

    (it doesn't even have to be the SPT semi - just a humble mid-week main event - or even the Thewy thing)

    Two on the same night!! Well, afterall it is a game of percentages!

    Shirley02 has been this week's winner, nice try Geldy for a runner up prize, though :-)

    The competition will refresh on Monday so anything from 00:00 counts. 

    Good luck and let's hope these becomes less frequent or else the suits will be after me!

    In Response to Re: Race to the Royal Flush:
    Sam, Gary and Aussie make good points.. A RF with both hole cards AND you have to posr, I am thinking there will be weeks which will be devoid of winners.. Fancy expanding it to any str8 flush with 2 hole cards and the highest str8 wins i.e. Royal. This should ensure there is a good chance it will be won each week and, of course, allows my str8 flush hand to be in with a chance for this week... :-)

    Nice promotion. I've had a Royal Flush twice in consecutive nights on another site. Only two i've ever had in 10years of playing.

    That site paid a bonus of 100 BB.

    why are sky trying to record how many royal flushes over a secific time, and home come people who are regular forum posters are getting them when

    "How bad do I run? my 1st EVER Royal on Sky Poker after about 4 years and I am a day early.."

    mMaybe I'm just paraniod.



    Or maybe they are testing a new algarithm (sorry for spelling, just google)

    In Response to Race to the Royal Flush:
    We get on average one Royal Flush for every 318,000 hands dealt on Sky Poker. this is about 1 every 2 days. Posted by Sky_Sam
    Are you sure about that?

    Loads more than that are being reported, and I'd expect there are plenty more Royals being dealt to players who are unaware of this promotion.

    In Response to Race to the Royal Flush : Are you sure about that? Loads more than that are being reported, and I'd expect there are plenty more Royals being dealt to players who are unaware of this promotion.

    Yeah, I've double and triple checked this and, unless I'm missing something glaringly obvious, it should still stand! 

    Afterall, it is a percentage so we could just be getting lucky, it is possible there could never be a Royal flush dealt again...

    Time will tell, perhaps we'll have a dry period later in the competition to even it out, who knows?
