Default Was I set up?

I just got busted in a no limit game live, but was I set up by a mechanic? This is a very usual game I play in but we doubled the buy in tonight. Everyone is pretty much a LAG but I swear to god I got mechaniced so I'm just looking for some feedback.

Hero is first with KK
Hero raises, Villian Calls
Flop K 8 8
Villian bets, Hero calls
Turn 4
River 7
Villian Bets, Hero goes all in
Villian calls
VIllan wins with 88 ( four of a kind)
Afterwards I dunno it felt like a train wreck, do these hands come up often or do I just get the ass end of these things a lot?
What puzzles me is the dealer flipped up my first card so I got the burn, which was the second K, I would have had KJd, but instead got dealt KK. The hand just seemed too set up, because WHO THE HELL FLOPS 4 of a kind? I'm just looking for comments please don't flame me too bad.

You're totally right. That never happens, the odds of flopping four of a kind are just way too astronomical. You won't find anyone on this forum who's ever seen it happen, and collectively we've played millions of hands. You were definitely cheated, go and demand your money back.

Online ive flopped 4 kind a few times. It happened against me last night luckly i only lost 20bb. The only thing that looks dodgey is him betting his 4 kind u chk let the guy draw as much as he can. Also depends on strength of bet % to pot on flop. something smells fishy there. could have been freak. but lags always chk boss hands.

You got retardeded.

I'd say the only logical thing to do is hire a hitman to kill all of those dudes. Give us an update when you do.

Without any additional information you are were in all likelihood not set up. These things happen, although rarely. I've flopped quads a few times in the past couple thousand hands. To be against a flopped fullhouse though in those situations is more rare, but completely within the realm of possibility. You'd really need some evidence before instigating anything.

I've been set up IRL before, but not in an ill willed way. I was dealt AA and the flop came AA2...the dealer pushed into me with 34s and turned his str8 flush.

I pointed the the dealer and he started cracking up. Usually they do this [censored] as a joke, unless they don't like you.

Happens all the time. I flopped four of a kind twice tonight online (first: 88 Flop 88x second QA Flop QQQ) got paid off both times.

It could be a set-up but if you've played in this game before and all factors are equal except stakes, its much more likely that it's just how the cards fell.
