Default Re: Math Question Royal flush

[ QUOTE ]
Not trying to hijack the thread but what are the odds of actually flopping a royal (of any suit)? A buddy flopped a royal at my home game and we've been trying to find what the odds were of him flopping it....not just hitting it by the river etc. I've searched alot online but can't find those odds, most just show what the odds are of hitting a royal by the river.

The 2.5million to one is the chances of hitting a specific suit of royal flush given exactly five cards. Hitting any royal is 4x more likely.

The odds of flopping a royal are just the odds of hitting a royal in 5 cards. 1 in 650,000.
