I have had one Royal playing at AP and only one other time a st8 flush playing online. I have been playing online for well over a year. Brick and mortar I was playing at the Flamingo in Vegas in January and got a Queen high str8 flush...should have been good enough for high hand of the day, worth 900.00 dollars at the time, but the manager came over and said what a time to get this hand...there are 2 Royal flushes in front of you. WOW!!! and people question the validity of online play. It happens folks. Well I went back the next day and collected my 250.00 for 3rd place in high hand of the day. Which was still cool.
