Quad Aces make me smile. That’s me with rockets in the pocket by the way. My opponent, who had a gutshot straight draw went all in at the turn in an effort to scare me out of the hand. Since there was no straight possible with A,K,J,8 (unless he had rather foolishly called a big preflop raise with Q10), I gladly called his all-in with my (then) set of Aces.
Even with that big win under my belt, I still ended up losing this game unfortunately (I’ve been playing very badly this weekend), but the sight of those 4 cards did boost my morale quite a bit.

Just to kinda emphasize how horribly I’ve been performing: A few hours later, I drew quad Kings twice in the same game, and still only managed to make second place. Geez, what does it take, man?
