Poll of the Day > You have a royal flush and opponent just made a bet of $10,000

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fold. It would be rude to take someone's money

Let me consult Kenny Rogers quick.

Depends on the buy in and format, and how much money is at the table, and how many players are still in, and how many have been knocked out, and what the board looks like, and are we on the flop, turn, or river and a lot of other factors.

You got A and K
Flop was Q 9 4
Turn was J
River was 10

Blind is 2,500
Pot after his bet is 15,000 (He was Blind you were small)
Everyone else is already out

You got 50,000 chips left

It would depend on a number of factors like what other cards are in the river. Only thing that beats a royal flush would be four of a kind, so if there is no pair showing in the river then I should have the highest possible hand at the table.

Is this a tournament or cash game? What was the buy in (minimum/maximum if cash)?

Tournamanet, 60000 buy in

Raise, that way maybe he'll raise again. If I go all in, he'll probably fold and I'll only get his $10,000 bet. If I call I only get his $10,000 bet.

You can tell it has been a while since I played poker of any kind.

this is the correct answer.

Call if flop/turn, raise if river. All in if they raise again.

Nothing beats a royal flush.

Five of a Kind can beat it if you're using wild cards.

Technically, a Royal Flush also beats a Royal Flush, because suits have values - if you're playing a non-standard poker game with suit rules, a spade hand would beat a diamond hand. Even in Texas Hold'em, it would theoretically be possible to draw conflicting flushes if you're playing with wild cards and a wild card/Joker shows up in the community cards (so both players get a four card flush and share the wild).

I'd all in, but I only have 500 on me.

A 7 high (the lowest possible hand) can beat a royal flush with solid betting

Maybe raise and call is some order. All-in can scare them away This does all depend on how long youve been playing, and you normal play style, though

A 7 high (the lowest possible hand)

I know next to nothing about Texas Hold 'Em, so would you mind explaining how a 7 high is the lowest possible hand there?

High card is the lowest possible hand, ace high is the higheet possible for the high card hands. Meaning youd have to have 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 for the lowest. Cause if you had 2-6 that would be a straight.

And there is no way you can see 2 royal flushes in the same hand of Texas hold em.

To elaborate on this in a way that's actually helpful, in Texas Hold 'Em, 3/5 of your hand is comprised of the cards on the table. If you've got a royal flush, that means the three cards on the table contributing to your flush are the same suit and therefore the only possible royal flush that can be made with them is the one you've got. Somebody else could have a straight flush in the same suit, but it's going to lose to yours in value.

I'm going all in.

All-In. They fold, I still have their $10k. They match, I have more.

Actually, there is a way to see 2 royal flushes in Texas Hold'em, and that's if the royal flush is in the house, so literally every player gets a royal flush

yall are straight up bad at poker lmao

you make it very obvious you've never played a high stakes game

Guaranteed 10k is a very bad thing.

Okay but is the opponent wearing sunglasses?

ItIsSoOver posted...

That's not 2 royal flushes. It's just 1. The fact that everyone has it doesn't magically make the suits change lmao. Wtf are you on.

bruh

Uhh, duh? The vast majority of people have never played a high stakes game, by simple virtue of the fact that vast majority people don't have the money to play a high stakes game. You shouldn't need any actual observations to help you make that assumption.

If I've only got $50K and min raise to $20K, that looks more suspicious than just going all-in.

We all know, ItsSoOver has never bet more than $5 on a hand of poker.
