I usually get quads or run up against quads in waves - feast or famine. Right now it is feast but before that I was starting to wonder if I would ever get quads again. Quads are such an unlikely hand that you shouldn't adjust your play to the fear that you are facing them again, although if three of a kind is on the board you might want to watch your bet sizing if somebody is checking then calling your bets.

It seems to go against the odds to see that many quads, but I think it's worse odds that a site like PokerStars would purposely affect the hands. they are a big enough site that they have more to lose if they get caught than what they stand to gain by the rake they take in.

yes,poker stars have singled you out for punishment , they do this randomly now and again,just pick on some one as they have nothing better to be doing while traffic is slow[135,000or so], it keeps them busy during non peak times
Have you tried to execute pokerstars software with a special parameter: pokerstars.exe /noquads I hope this helps
Talking seriously ... is a question of probabilities. I think there those fact are no intentioned. You'll never know how much capricious is the hazard!

I got 88 today and I was praying for an 8 on flop. I got two! so quads on flop, I slowplayed them as much as possible but still didn't get more than 7BB or so in the pot, board was all small cards and bitches didn't bet much . This is so sad.
