Default quads 7/300

I've seen or had quads seven times in the last 300 hands I've sat. is this just highly improbable or is it time to switch poker sites?

Default Re: quads 7/300

On play money PP, I witnessed 4 quads and a straight flush in less than half an hour.

In regards to quads, I could imagine seeing that many quads if the board supplied 3 of them. If your playing HE, and somebody's pocket pair turned into quads 7 times/300... I'd be a little alarmed naturally, but eventually, that little streak will die down. Unless the poker site really is a crapshoot, I wouldn't think much of it.

I calculate the chance of hitting quads to be approximately 1 in 1041 hands. Therefore to get 7 or more from 300 hands is very remote!

Isn't it 1 in 8,000? Could very easily be wrong, but I think I remember reading that somewhere.
