I find myself going a little crazy when playing something like 10 handed Power House, or Extra Draw Frenzied Poker and automatically assessing each hand for Quick Quads.
I haven't had any Quick Quads plays lately, but that's a definite hazard. In my case I'm usually assessing for wild cards after switching from Deuces to Jacks.

I don't play QQ that often, but last night while trying to hit one I failed at it. But I did succeed in catching this!

So, clearly, sometimes those who say, "Failure is not an option," could not be more wrong. ;)

Thanks. Funny though, later on was playing 1 line on Spin Poker and ended up with about 6 would be QQ's with the first coming about 12 hands in with 333A2.

I have never played it. I don’t think I could handle the hold changes if I were switching games around. I have enough trouble remembering the correct holds on Multi Strike. Or even Joker Kings

I recently learned what "quick trips" actually means; I had heard several more knowledgeable player acquaintances discussing strategy for QuickQuads and they used the term quick trips on numerous occasions when discussing hands, and it took me a little bit to fully grasp exactly what it meant and the application (i.e. a hand like 8-8-5-3 etc.)
Sometimes its the terminology and acronyms of a subject or profession that confuse less experienced people but when you learn it, it seems so simple. Like in Medicine, when doctors throw terms around like "Co-morbidities" they are simply saying "other illnesses or health problems".

I played QQ last night for the first time since I got this royal at Firekeepers last year. This time I was successful in getting that QQ.
