The Odds of Making a Flush Hand in Poker The odds of flopping a Flush with a suited starting hand is 0.82% or 1 in 122 Definition of Flush – We make a Flush by having five cards of the same suit. If you don't, the odds of flopping a royal flush are 0% because it just isn't possible. If you do have 2/5 of the royal in your hand, the odds of the other 3 cards coming out on the flop is: (3/50).(2/49).(1/48) = 6/117600 = 1/19600 So your odds of flopping the royal are 1 in every 19600 times you're dealt two suited cards ten or higher.
