Royal Hold'em

As I logged on to Ultimate Bet to play my regular game of 2/4, 6 max limit hold 'em game I sat down at a table that would forever change my poker life. As I flopped sets, and straights, I found myself losing to runner runner royal flushes, and runner runner bigger boats / quads. One could only imagine that I was cursing up a storm, "WTF! I have never seen this many bad beats in my life!" A couple of hands later I realized that I was not seeing any card below a 10! I thought to myself that this was very odd, so like an idiot, I posted about it in the chat box.
Me: "what the hell is goin on here? is this game rigged or somethin?
Player: "It's called royal you idiot"
Me: "uh yea i realized i lost to a royal flush the other hand... That was ridiculous!"
Player: "No, you are playing royal holdem!!"
After I realized what the hell was going on I thought to leave the table and to never return. But I still had 100 bucks left in my account... I thought hey, lets give it a shot, maybe I can get the hang of it. So i played, and played some more, and slowly caught on. Before I knew it I made that 100 that I lost back. I sat out and went into a "normal" hold'em table, I got dealt cards like J 3, 7 4, 10 3, it was boring to say the least. I realized that after playing royal, I did not have the patience for regular hold 'em anymore, I liked seeing AK, AQ, KK, AA, more frequently. So i decided that I am going to continue royal and I'll let you all know how I do later on.
