It’s possible, but improbable.

Wow, getting a royal flush is already a dream for most players — but getting two in a row? That’s just insane! Even though the payout was only around $100, the statistical rarity makes it one of those once-in-a-lifetime poker stories.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: that pour guy probably used up all his royals he will ever get in his life in 5 minutes of play.

We all know that the rarest hand in poker is the royal flush. Some players have not collected it for many years. Collecting a royal flush is a rarity. Collecting it twice in a row is a miracle. It succeeded. It was an American poker player - Alex. The probability of such an event is 0.00000004%. Think about it. Unfortunately, he only managed to earn about $100. But this is an extremely rare event that can be compared to random typing. Do you know what should happen? The generator should be running until this post appears. Each word must be in its place.

That’s extremely rare, but let me tell you something, I’ve been playing poker since 2007, and like about 10 years ago I was playing a sit and go in pokerstars , 18 players, I was in the heads up, and I received pocket AA four times in a row! FOUR! I lost 2 and I won two, at the end I don’t remember if I won the tournament or not honestly, a few months ago I asked ChatGPT what’s the probability about that and answered that the chances are 1 in 24 thousand million 😨 and then told me that that would happen to me again if I play at least 1 hour every day for the next 45 thousand years lol! May be you won’t believe me or not, but I promise this is true.

Imagine flopping royal flush twice in a row and your opponents folding to flop/turn minraises both times, leaving you with 8BB profit from them in total.

Well thats something very very rare to happen. I only had a royal flush 1 time in over 15 years of play so you can see the odds 😅

my random number generator works with the same probability, I got 7 2, 7 3, 7 4.7 3 and something else with a seven yesterday in five hands
Well, this is also an achievement, and the probability of this is also very small.:)

At any version of Omaha I would imagine it is considerably less unlikely than at hold 'em. I've seen straight flush twice in a row playing live cash decades ago.

I once had a royal flush, and on the river, my opponent folded. In short, I was dealt a hand with little money on the table. It's also a matter of luck that your opponents keep playing and calling; otherwise, a royal flush is useless.

A player had aces two hands in a row against me in a live game. I dealt one of the hands so there was no cheating. My hands were AK and QQ. Like the roulette wheel, the deck has no memory. If your royal flush was a hold 'em hand as I suspect and your odds are correct we are talking about one chance in the tens of billions. PokerStars celebrated 100 billion hands in 2013 so it should have happened a few times since then.

To not say there is no chance, it is like lots of 0,00001% chance hahahaha
