It’s been a long while since we’ve had much of discussion here on the Forum about the poker game known as Royal. Let’s hear some advice to those who wish to put a toe in the royal waters. My personal best advice? Fold, fold, fold like there’s no tomorrow!

I played this and last year many on the Royal Hold’em Ring Promotions, Royal Thrones 
. (lol).
A very nice thing this year:
Because his very good cards he was then on all hands all in. On end he lost all his chips and leaved.
Maybe it helps to learn a little bit before playing it.

Don’t dip that toe.

This is the only game on Replay which I can not come up with a viable strategy. This game doesn’t make any sense to me. So, I really hope players respond because I’ve wanted to ask this question for some time.
Thanks.

Don’t play it because instead of strategy it seems to me anyway that it’s luck.

I understand what you’re saying. But I want to be able to play comfortably all forms of poker. I know it’s probably just me and the reason I seldom play it except in the Promotions. All of the games of poker have some % of luck.
So far, I know that one or two pairs and a set will not result in a winning hand most of the time. It seems the best starting hand is being dealt a pair hoping for a set which will become a boat or Quads. But you can wait a long time for this set up.

1 pair or a set do not happen in Royal if the hand goes to showdown. With 7 cards in play with only 5 values (AKQJT) 2 pair is the weakest hand possible. You cannot have a set as this would need 3 equal value cards and 4 unequal value cards.
e.g.1…Your hole cards are QQ
Flop. QTJ . You now have a set of Qs
Turn. K . You still have 3Qs
River. Any A on the river will fill a straight. Any KJT will fill a full house and a Q will fill quads.
e.g.2… Hole cards QT
Flop. KQQ. You have a set
Turn. A
River. Any J is a straight. Any AKT is a boat and any Q is quads.

Most times wins the best Full House, sometimes a Quad or Royal Flush too. If a Straight is on table then no one can have it better.

It’s rare but could be a straight on table. 3 cards same suit and player can have the other 2 cards that suited with the 3 on board giving a royal flush. Have be careful with that

I think you’re on to something with that idea of “learn a little bit before playing it.” lol

…which is why my strategy (fold, fold, fold) is no doubt the best.

Thanks, I’m aware of the League but the starting times are inconvenient for me. Sounds like a great idea. Still I’m trying to understand the best way to play Royal.
