Also I have never had a bad beat in poker in 3 years of playing. Bad beat meaning any quads beaten by anything better.

Thanks for the link, but that table appears to show the probability of a full house losing to a straight flush?
I did some Googling and tried some calculating. But I didn't find the answer, and I'm not good enough at math to figure this out.

I did scroll down all the way, but I think I misread the table.
Now I'm confused as to how you converted the decimal odds to a ratio where "1" is the first term.
I think the formula should be something like this:
1/.25 = 4, which means that a .25 chance is a one in four chance.
The table presents the odds of any straight flush suffering a bad beat as 0.0000012.
1/0.0000012 is 833,333. So shouldn't in be a one in 833,333 chance?

Happend to me once, and because of my lucky charm i was the top straight flush. He raised to all-in and i was like "What's going on, is this real". From my 8year poker experience that happend only once to me. So i guess its 1 in a million

Hmm that's one in a billion. Lol. I got a straight flush once in my lifetime since I started playing poker. And it's very rare that two players in a table gets a straight flush. It's shocking that it actually happen.

Yea I just added some more for good measure. Although OP did not say if both hole cards need to be used. I am guessing they do not. The odds are 1 to 833,333 not 1.1.4m. If they do then odds are probably closer to 1. 1.4 m. Either way the chance of this happen is very rare.

It's never happened to me, but I was at a live table once where it happened.

If I remember correctly the "table share" of the Bad Beat Jackpot that I received was about $6000 USD.
I normally play $2/$4, but decided to play $1/$2 that day because I was hungover. Lucky me.

For all time of the game to me the straight flush came out only 3 times. All these 3 times were nuts. In order to win one straight flush from another straight flush - the probability of such a situation is about 1/10 000 000. Such an event is very unlikely.
An example of such unlikely events - What is the probability that 2 opponents have gone all-in with pocket AA and one had the flush on the board?
Although rare, the odds of AA beating AA are not in the same ballpark as straight flush over straight flush. AA v AA occasionally happens and both players will almost always be all-in pre-flop, ensuring the necessary runout. By contrast, one reason straight flush over straight flush is so rare is because the low end cards are not always played, and the river is often not reached. But, all it takes after AA and AA are dealt is for any four suits to fall on the board. It happened in a famous hand between Connor Drinan and Cary Katz during the 2014 $1,000,000 WSOP Big One for One Drop. Enjoy the watch.
According to my research/math: The odds of two players getting the same pocket pair are 1 in 294. Since there are 13 ranks, the odds of two players specifically getting ACES in the same hand are 294 x 13 = 1 : 3,822. Four cards to a flush or a flush on the board happens around 5% of the time, and will almost always win for the player holding the correct Ace. So, Aces will crack Aces roughly once every 76,440 hands (20 x 3,822). Making it very rare, but at least an order of magnitude less rare than straight flush over straight flush.

Happened once so far to me.
Board had 9cTcJcQc and I had the 8c and somehow got the feeling the other guy has the Kc.
I bet big but managed to not get broke here. 🤣
Shows that I usually play a little too cautious, I guess. 🙈

Never seen this before, it's rare, only if there is a 4 liner to a straight flush then it's highly possible
