I play poker with 8 to 12 other guys every Friday night. We play tournament style poker with low stakes of $10 per game, plus a $5 knockout. I've never heard of a game that has gotten as many 4-of-a-kinds as ours has. It seems to happen a couple of times each Friday. This past Friday, Prescott got quad 3's and I got quad A's. In fact, I've actually gotten quads lots of times. I've had:
Quad A's 2 times
Quad J's once
Quad 8's (on the flop!)
Quad 2's once
And, that's all that I can remember, but at our table, there have probably been others. As I mentioned in a previous post, I also got a Royal Flush (of clubs) twice in a single month. Has that ever happened before to anyone else? But, that's a little off-point.
On Friday, I had trip 6's and I knew I was up against a probable Ace high flush. In a moment that I like to call "my stupid move of the night", I went all-in and got called by 2 players. Honestly, I was blinded by the possibility of getting quads again (I said it was a stupid move). On the outside, I knew I still had a chance at pairing another card on the board to get the "boat". And you know what? It happened. I ended up with 6's and K's - a full house. It was so freakin' lucky that I was actually embarrassed to have won the pot. I knocked 2 guys out (including the Ace high flush - what a bad beat for him!) and won 2 $5 knockouts on my way to a decided game 2 victory. My chip stack was so high that I was ashamed to keep winning. . . .
But at that point, it would have been an embarrassment to lose, so I won anyways.
