Your royal flush DROUGHT... how long has it been?

The two years I had the long missing streaks I played about 900K hands each year. Overall I've likely played close to 10 million hands.

One is dealt 4RF every 2777 hands on average. However, in OEJs which I play quite often, when the 5th card is a wild card you hold the five cards. So, I get a few less chances than most people. Same holds for most deuces games.

Thanks Arc. I believe in deuces the chances for a "natural" royal increase to 1/48000 because you hold the deuces. Same with OEJs??

No, fewer wild cards and other differences leads to a cycle of about 39K hands.

Whoa... OEJs has natural royals more frequently than JOB ?? I am excluding wild royals.

Money... Quit thinkin about it and just play the game...

Otherwise you are going to end up like those people talking to the machine shouting out each hand they could possibly make on each draw...

The difference between me and them is that I quietly mutter to myself... royal, royal, royal...

I've hit two RFs holding just the 10D. Won't see that in JOB. However, the big difference is 3 RF is always preferred over a high pair since high pairs in OEJs are no better than low pairs.

This makes sense: "the big difference is 3 RF is always preferred over a high pair since high pairs in OEJs are no better than low pairs." Does this mean that high pairs are not paying hands? If so, then choosing three to the royal makes sense to hold over a high pair.

Yes, it takes two pair get one's money back.
