WOW - Congrats wilson.  Waiting 5 years then hitting 2 in an hour, that had to make you feel great!

RFs have a way of making you feel great most of the time.
 
Of course, statistically, 9 of the 48 times (just under 20%) you have a RF drawing one, you will be throwing away a flush.

twice this year I had four to the Royal and a flush. Went for the Royal both times and both times got it. Quarter machine, job. $1,000.00  sweet....I would always, always always go for the royal. those are the hands you play for.

Wow... hitting 2 for 2 on that hold is one lucky draw! Well, two. Great to hear.

To some of us 2-2 is beyond fantastic. So, far I'm 1 out of 160 this year including many, many tossed flushes.

I have had another four for the royal again yesterday and ended up with a big flat NOTHING!  This time I was not throwing away a flush.  I am thinking I need go rub up against valden so I can get some of valden's luck!  Oh it was probably not luck at all sorry valden it was your SKILL!  I am just not very skillful LOL!
