Over the past week, I hit quads twice while playing $0.50/$1 6 person holdem. On the first one, I got paid off pretty well. The second one less so. Hand histories are below.

Updated Jun 9 2004: Okay, so the it keeps on happening. I got quads twice last night. Once with 999 on the flop (I had K9s in the hole). I would've had them three times, but I folded 77 before the runner-runner 77 on the turn and river. That's poker though.

Unfortunately it wasn't me. It was this maniac who would raise, and reraise with things like a flush with a 5 kicker. It was the second time I've seen a royal flush in live play, and given this guys table image he got a decent amount of action with an A Q T of hearts board.

I did do pretty well at the table. I doubled up to $60 after about an hour of playing. I'm almost back up to $200. Hopefully this isn't just a streak but my actual poker playing ability, so when I hit $200 or so I can go up to $2/$4.
