So what happens when I play a few hands of 0.05/0.10 Hold 'Em tonight?
I'm glad I was able to get a screen shot of it for posterity. Who knows how long it will be until it happens again?

Lucky eights
My wife was asking me about poker hand rankings earlier today, and wondered if four of a kind is the highest hand. I told her that the best possible hand is a royal flush, which consists of A-K-Q-J -10 of the same suit. She asked if I had ever got that hand, and I couldn't remember ever having it, although I did get a lower straight flush in a tournament a few months ago. She asked if I had ever had four of a kind, and I told her that I had not had one since I started playing regularly over the past couple of years.

I, too, have gotten a lower end straight flush. I've never even seen a royal. I don't think I've gotten four of a kind yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Cancel the end of that last comment. I hit quad kings this evening. :-)
I managed to flop quads about a week ago. I had J-5 and the flop came JJJ! I slow played enough to get a guy with AA and another with 77 to max raise it up each round (I was on a fixed limit table). Oh sweetness. Haven't hit a royal or even a straight flush, though. Been busted by a straight flush. I do remember reading about some poor souls in a tourney (Monte Carlo, I think) that wound up chopping a pot when a Royal wound up on the table.
