Ultimate X odds question

Post by dzeppfan77 »

Hello all,

Long time reader, but first time posting anything. I was playing .25 cent Ultimate X video poker, 3 line DDB at my local casino tonight and got a Royal on an 8X for $8000. I only held King and Jack of hearts and drew the other 3 need to complete the Royal. Can anyone help me and figure out the mathematical odds of such a thing happening (getting a straight to qualify for the 8X and then only holding 2 cards the next hand?). Thank you!

I believe it’s called luck. I once hit a royal by only keeping a jack and a 10. Go figure.
