4 of a kind isn't very common. and this happens to mostly of us I believe. I just must put in that I think "bad beat" tables at smaller sites are rigged, because.. I've played for a long time and I've never seen a 4 of a kind that is beated by a higher 4 of a kind, never ever. And all the rigg talk just sounds like b******t if I can write so i many guys heads, but in bigger sites.. yeah, there's more tables and more players playing But I can't figure out why the bad beats happens at the smaller ones. But you, it happens to us all! I feel with you

It just has to be coincidence. People say don't slow play and play them hard, but dont you think if people seem weak to see if they made some type of hand. There really is no standard way to play them, mainly because they don't come up often. I've only seen one hand like this though, it was on 1/2 table with a 500 dollar pot, 7's were beat by a straightflush, mainly because they guy slow played them and let the gy with the open ended straight flush draw on the flop catch it with a free card. You got to play them according to how your opponents are reading you. If they think you're weak, convince them that you are, and the opposite works as well. Poker is poker, if they dont have a made hand, they won't call you down.

You usually only get a lot of chips from your opponent, if he has a very strong hand himself (FH vs quads) or is making a big mistake/move.
If you play against a decent player and he has nothing, you will win only a small pot. Not much you can do about it. Against very aggressive players it may be best to give them a chance to bluff at the pot.

you need some luck at the tables also , when you have a massive hand like 4 of a kind you need to hope one of your opponents have a strong hand also . it's the same with AA starting hand , sometimes you get called when you make a raise and sometimes everyone fold . Nothing you can do about that , it's just part of the game
