Queen of Quads

It's said by many that poker is very cyclical. I believe it.

Last Friday after work I went to the Island hoping to play a tournament, but ended up playing 2-10 spread limit when nobody showed up for the tournament until the last 5 minutes and then I stayed in the live game.

I'd been playing less than 30 minutes when my 3-3 flopped quads. This was nice because I hadn't had quads in a while & I also got paid off a little and my hand went up on the board for the $100 high hand to pay out at midnight.

About 1 hour later (same dealer as 3-3) I had a K-3 suited in diamonds and flopped 3-K-3 for a full house. Again I got paid off even when I hit my 4th three on the river for quad 3s again. Crazy.

Within that same 30-minutes, I had K-J with a flop of K-K-8 and another K on the river. Great googly moogly. The jack played so I beat my own high hand!!

About 60 minutes later (different dealer this time) I hit quad 6s holding J-6 suited in hearts. My K-K-K-K-J did hold up and I collected my $100 high hand and went home shortly thereafter. I wonder what the odds are of getting quads 4 times in one night? Quad quads!! LOL! Dr. Phil, does your poker calculator tell you that?

Not done yet though. The very next day I hit quad kings in the tournament. And on Sunday I called a guy's all-in with 6-6 and flopped quads.

This is fun. Hope this cycle lasts for a while! :)

Wow, never seen that many quads in one night, even with 3 tables playing, much less one player. Phenomenal.
