    1.) I have witnessed at least 10 sets of quads this week. The quads button is definitely back on.

    2.) I have seen a seemingly dominated and hopeless hand gey bailed out about 6 times in the last two days from the board making a 5 card straight.

    Oh, and

    3.) Sheets has to have hit platinum level VIP as he has played over 1 million sng's this week.

    GL all,

    Chris.

    Funny you mention the quads Chris, as I have two sets of quads in a video I recorded for my site earlier today.

    I saw 3 more today too.

    I did indeed make platinum level this week...but the real cool thing is....

    I hat n 82 input all my sngs from all of 2005 on stars into a database, and did some cool number cruniching...itm like 42% and roi of 33 ish%...but whats real cool is that during these last few days of complete sng play wall to wall, my roi was almost exactly the same...today I made 3800 on entryy fees of 11000. I am putting my mouse away for the weekend and going into full sweat mode for shaniac, below, bax, and sdouble in bahamas.

    I noticed that K9 and J5 soooted always boat and flush preflop vs AA.

    All in preflop

    Hands:
    Dumbass 1 Ks 9s
    Dumbass 2 Jh 5h
    Me Ac As

    67% to win preflop

    Flop:
    3h 9c 3c

    At this point I'm 87% to win

    Turn:
    10h

    Still 78% to win

    River:
    9h

    The almighty card to give first side pot to flush boy... about 1k

    Gives almighty asshole two main pot of about 6k. WEIRD.

    Quads are droping like flies off a shit wagon at every site I have payed on since last weekend.

    pokerstars being of course, one of the sites with the LEAST realistic card simulations, it would be expected that if 2006 is the "Year of the Quads", then Pokerstars would be one of the first sites it would be seen on.

    It isn't just stars this week- I just hit back to back Quads on the same table on PR.

    Not only do they have the doomswitch, they now have a Quads button at PR.
