    It is absolutely silly for anybody to state that open folding on a guy that has likely made a spade Royal Flush.

    It is nothing more than a dick move.

    To get any +EV, there has to be benefit for you to folding. Screwing a fellow poster out of a big win when you have nothing to lose or gain, is just wrong on so many levels.

      Plus, he might have nothing so a guy is going to fold on a check because another player might have a Royal? Better chance of being doinked by a meteor.

        By pushing folding you're encouraging other people to do it too, including if you're the person who has the royal. Therefore it's a -EV proposition right off the bat, since you're promoting a strategy where nobody ever wins.

            yeah I know, but plenty of people in here are saying it's the right thing to do. Just wait and see how their story changes if they get one and everyone folds...

              after giving this some thought i would not fold on somebody

              it's not the right thing to do.

              good luck to everyone and i hope this gets hit soon as most likely sbr does another cool promo right after it

                            How often does that happen? I doubt anyone wins then, what would be the alternative?

                              this will happen very often during this promotion ... it is like playing slots ... you need 7 7 7 on the same line for the jackpot, but you will get a lot of times only 2 7's on the same line, with the third showing just a little above or bellow the line

                                the way the rules read now anyone with cards left at showdown should would win the ipad2.

                                i do not see any rule listed where one or both cards in the players hand must be used to make the royal flush.

                                    It's actually listed in fine-print.

                                    Good luck today guys!

                                      well yeah it is now as you just edited in this part

                                      in the event that the community cards are 10-J-Q-K-A in spades, the players that play the hand to showdown will equally split the point value of an iPad 2 in the form of poker points with 3X rollover.

                                      good to see the rules updated

                                                It was still going last month because I hit one. If it's over, it just ended with this new ipad promo I think because up until today, the board still said get 1k pts for royal flush.
