Great play. I especially liked how you induced the UTG to raise you all-in on the turn. Taught him not to mess with a 2+2er.

On a semi-related note, I once folded quad 8s. I'm sure you can guess the situation.

You were drunk and passed out, your head hit the mouse which was coincidentally right over the fold button at the time.

Am I close? How's the bump on your head?

Straight flush on the board? Wait, then you couldn't have quads. OK, I give up.

I am dealt 36o in the BB. One caller preflop. I check.

The flop is 888. Opponent checks. I check.

Turn is a rag. Opponent checks. I check.

River is an 8. Opponent bets. I fold quad 8s.
