Quadless
It has been over 2,350 hands since I had a quad. Most of the play was JOB and Bonus Poker. About 20% DDB. Bad luck seems normal for me. People next to me get quad Aces with a kicker twice within 15 minutes, quad 2s, and other quads while I wait for a quad. This was playing different machines and in 2 casinos. Anyone else have bad luck like this?

Absolutely. I once played DDB for nearly two days in Biloxi without a quad. That's a minimum of 5,000 hands, probably a lot more. This is the main reason I switched to deuces wild. Waiting for a quad that never comes is soooo frustrating. The damn things seem to come in spurts right after I've left for the bathroom.

You could be on to something here. Have you tried paying the person next to you to get up and go to the bathroom?

At 500 quadless hands I get restless and panicky. Beyond that is a guaranteed negative day. You'd think that there would be some semblance of similarity with the 423 average. I go into outright despair at 700 hands if I'm still there.

Now at 3200 hands since my last quad. There is no realistic recovery from this streak.

Walk away after 700 q free. You're not a door mat. By then you'll want to rest your eyes, get blood circulation, etc. It's not like you're leaving a plump cow. Slim pickings.

Same here. I would probably lose more than I do now playing. hee hee. I was just thinking....I have gone over 600k hands 3 times without Royals. That said that translates into no quads on job for about 5k hands or so. I don't remember ever going that long on job, but I probably have. I know I have gone at least 6 or 7 hours or about 3000 hands. One thing for sure for me....I have lost more in one outing on job than any other game. And that is playing 9/6. When you have no royals, no quads, and few full houses, your bankroll is gone in a flash.

I definitely had a unique day. $5,300 coin in on 9/6 JOB. Six quads. Five on dollar, last on quarters. They were falling out of the sky. I'll post the TR my thread, The Path. Certainly a smooth one today. At one point, my right index draw finger cramped. I thought it would be permanently bent! I bet all over the $1-$5 scale. So figure 3,100 hands.
