I was playing 3 days at Borgata this week. On day 2 I played a session of 2-5nl at one table for about 6 hours. In that time period, The following happened:
I had quads 3 times, twice where I had a pair on the flop and runner runner quads.
I had Jd-9d 4 way to the flop. Board was Kd Qd 4d. I got it all in against Ad FD. turn 6d. River Td. Straight flush over Nut flush.
It was rather unbelievable, but its just the start.
The next night, I played 2-5nl again. After about an hour, I got AsQs against 2 opponents. Flop Ks Js 3d. By the river was the Ts. Royal Flush. Borgata recently added a $100 bonus for a royal, which was nice.
4 hours later, after our table broke, we merged at another table. I had a hand with Kd-Td. Flop Ad Jd 8c. The river ended up being Qd. Another Royal flush. Another $100 bonus from Borgata.
In total of about 10 hours of hands, across 2 sessions in a 24 hours period, I got quads 3 times, 1 straight flush, and 2 royal flushes four hours apart. Naturally of course, both of those sessions were my biggest losers and wiped all profits from the trip, but I was stunned by it all.

OP, you're like the kid who gets a Ferrari for his 16th birthday and then totals it the next day.
Poker gods, if you're listening, I promise that if you give me a run of cards like that, I'll take much better care of it than OP. I even might fold a few hands!
