Weeeell, I don't know about completely pointless. You were very lucky that your opponents had pocket pairs (and pocket kings even!) to give them each the full house. This was the absolute best case scenario for flopping quads using only one in your hand. I think the same basic outcome would have happened at ANY limit level, except that perhaps you would have had some capped betting rounds at the higher limits.

Nice hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
