What do you suppose the odds are on this happening?

Playing 5-10 at PP. Dealt 67 hearts in BB. Flop came with A10 hearts. I called to draw for the flush. I bet and was raised when the J hearts came on the river. I figured I was beat by a bigger flush but made a "just in case" call anyway. I was right. His flush was just a little bit bigger than mine when he showed KQ hearts. Oh well. These things happen.

But on the very next hand I'm dealt 67 clubs in the small blind. I limp for $3 to see the flop which comes with a 48 clubs. Once again I draw for the little flush when non other than the 5 clubs falls. Unfortunately my bet was not called and I didn't have time to click the "show my cards" box. Would have been a nice time for someone to have the Ace high flush he he.

Anyway, what are the odds on that? Two straight flushes in a row, one of them a Royal.

The same as the odds of getting any other two hands in a row I'd suppose.

thats pretty cool to recoup some bets on the next hand from the royal though...
