ive been playing for about a year and a half now, and had two 2 card royal flushes personally. One was rags, no one had anything and i bet about 3 bets to go on the river (with about a 3$ pot in a 10/20 cent game (yes were college students! 10$ buyin..) and everyone folded.
Second time, it went like this (one of the best showdowns EVER!)
i was SB, with A-K spades..person next to the BB had 8-9 spades, so he called my minimum raise (around 40 cents or so). Flop came down 10-J spades/rag.. i bet out to about 3x the BB, he called. turn was the Q spades, giving me the made royal flush, and he the made straight flush, both with both hole cards. I check, he bets out $1, i smoothcall. River is a rag, i bet $1, he raises to 3$, i reraise to 5$ (hoping he has a semi good hand, like a flush or straight), he goes all in for about 18$ (10$ buyin, no rebuys), and i call with about 15$.. we turn them over and i hear him say 'striaght flush, why the hell were you calling my foolish bets?!' and i reply with.. 'striaght flush here too.. except to the ace!' and he flipped out. it was a great hand, and it was great to see straight flush vs royal flush.. woulda won us the bad beat jackpot at the closest casino (currently 150000$!)
Enjoy the story, it was fun!

Does the class as a bad beat?
It’s unlucky as hell don’t get me wrong. But to qualify as a bad beat doesn’t someone have to come from behind against huge odds to win? He was always the underdog.

that is true, but when youre sitting there with a two card striaght flush you dont expect to lose... especially since the person needed to have the k-a of that suit to beat him.. but yeah, i spose youre right
