i reckon that might be for 5 card draw poker hands, not holdem where its 5 from 7, but i'll stand corrected.

quick googling did the trick. here are the odds for 7 card hands (i.e holdem)

Royal flush 30,939 : 1
Straight flush 3,216 : 1
Four of a kind 594 : 1
Full house 37.5 : 1
Flush 32.1 : 1
Straight 20.6 : 1
Three of a kind 19.7 : 1
Two pair 3.26 : 1
One pair 1.28 : 1
No pair 4.74 : 1

with 7 cards, there are actually 21 different 5 card combinations you can have. so the numbers above are the 5 card numbers divided by 21.

it is also interesting to note that it is more likely to get 2 pair than it is to get no pair!

Thank you and it makes more sense, especially since Ive already hit 3 straight flushes, only one after i folded :D

Whats the odds of a Royal flush to seven cards?? I have seen that, too bad not on final table...

cheers.

if you wanna look at it that way, yes.

bit of maths here:

using the combination formula Image

there are 52C7 = 133, 784, 560 different 7 card hands possible in a deck of cards.

of those, 4 are 7 card royal flushes.

therefore the odds are 4:133784560, or 1 in 33,461,400!!!
