Lorinda, did I get this right? Or do I wait until the river?

Waiting until the river will allow you to extract the most value from your opponent. However, you were able to do just that with an inferior quad-flopping line. This will fly at the $55s but it's just not going to cut it at the higher buyins.

FWIW I've *finally* found the correct defense to Lorinda's quad-rivering technique:

(Who is still perfecting his deadly royal-flush finishing move -- unfortunately I need to be within 10 feet of my opponent to pull it off)

Impressive moves from both of you.

Someone pulled the flop quads and then let me river a big full house move earlier.
There seems to be a lot of second level quad-thinking out there at the moment /images/graemlins/frown.gif
