Very good points, IOO, and I agree.  It's just that I hated to see ALL that money go to waste.  So, like I said, I decided to take over, did a few good all-ins and won a good chuck of it back.  It's definately NOT the best way to built up your backroll, but the question was asked, "could it get you lots of money as well".  I was just showing that it was possible.

I wonder if the OP, adverse event, ever got his Royal Flush.  He was over 80k and counting. I may catch him yet, as I'm now at 31k and still climbing.

I did finally get it.  I don't remember what my hand count was when I got it.  I'll check next time I play hold'em and post and let you guys know.  I was A LOT more than anyone else had played before getting their first.

90ksomething I am pretty sure...

100%: COD2,3,4,5

I finally got the Royal Flush last night. Now I feel like I want to "royally flush" this game so I never have to look at it again. I thought I was never going to get this one but it finally popped up last night after 21002 hands played.

I've been "rubberbanding" on and off for about 6 months and went through 2 rrod boxes while trying to get this achievement--It's a given that I spend a lot of time playing games so rubberbanding is only a contributing factor here for the rrod.

Boy am I exstatic and glad I boosted the last 19,000 hands to get it. I really wondered if I was ever going to get this one.

I sure hope some of you others with 50K, 60K, and 70K get it sometime soon.

Congrats!

Thanks...Way to have good luck probably would make more sense in this instance. Stupid luck based achievements. :)
