I think I see about one straight flush every few months ("see" meaning see at a table...i've drawn one SF in my life.)
Yesterday I saw four in the space of five one-table sit-n-gos on PokerStars (regrettably, none of them mine.)
I know that variance is variance, but four straight flushes? Or is it straights flush?
I never had to worry about what the plural of straight flush is before.
On the upside, I pushed all in with kings early in a tourney, got called by someone playing the 45 of diamonds and then he sucks out the 2-6 diamond straight flush. The upside? Didn't even bug me at that point. Just moved on to another game. Eventually, you see everything.

Mon, April 21, 2008 - 9:59 PMNope, my (late) friend Kfish and... I've forgotten who the other was, maybe Cliff. 89s vs AKs board Qs Ts 3h Js somecard. It was limit, and most of the money went in on the flop with the remainder on the turn.
I also watched my friend Spencer (champion, 2000 TOC) make a straightt flush with the same jack that gave his opponent quad jacks. It was a potlimit game. -
