Quads are us

Had another good night at the tables with $170 profit. I have been very lucky recently with a number of Quad hands. On top of that a number of them have been paid off handsomely. As you would think a lot of them dont get rewarded as any pair on the board will tend to scare off action. So I consider myself to have had a nice run of double luck recently to not only get quads but to get some of them paid off. See hand history below...

How much more of a perfect situation than the above could I get to maximize my return? I dont know how pkmister could get away from calling me on that hand as it looked like I had an Ace in my hand - unfortunate for him, very fortunate for me :-)

Otherwise the night was pretty much folding and waiting for the right opportunites with strong hands or timely bluffs. Not sure if I will be able to play much if any tonight as a group of us should be out partying up...maybe I can squeeze in a couple of hours before I go, heh.
