Nope sorry, but I did flop one the other day in a cash game.  The other guy flopped the straight *rubs hands*

3 combinations of: 3/50 * 2/49 * 1/48

= 0.015%

Am I close?

What site are you on?  On some it's about 12/1, on others it's less likely, more like 33/1.

19600/1 sounds right is there's only one possible flop combination that gives the straight flush i.e. if you have a 3 gapper or AK or A2 in the hole.

But if you have 8-9 then either 7,10,J or 6,7,10 or 10,J,Q would give a straight flush so then it's more like 6533/1 isn't it?

So I reckon there's not one unique answer to the OP's question!

ken's right, I read it as 'Royal Flush'... A straight flush flop depends on the hole cards...

Ah, I was dealt  Ahrt  5h if that helps to create exact odds, and for Kybosh and his site related conspiracy theory, it was on Betfair.

Same as a royal flush then, as you need 3 exact cards.
