Like plaw I was "raised" on 7 card stud and it's still favourite version of poker. But like Jimmy I have noticed the popularity of Hold 'Em even on this side of the pond.

To go back to TIS' post about two Royal Flushes in the same hand, in all my years of playing, mostly house and "friendly" games, I only ever saw one Royal Flush.
