Have you ever been dealt 4 of the same card?
I've played tens of thousands of hands and it has not happened to me.

Yes. I've also played live games where there are small promos for being dealt it (in o8), between $25 - 100. It is not particularly rare.

If you can't calculate the probability of that happening, you should study more probability calculations.

the odds are 1 in 20,825
probability .0000480
270,725 possible 4 card starting hands
13 of them are quads
270,725 / 13 = 20,825
I have also played ten of thousands of hands and been dealt quads several times. Keep playing it will happen sometime in the next 20825 or so...

First one I can remember was 2222, it’s also when I realized it’s the worst possible hand

Just once online. Thought it was mildly amusing. Wished it was five card draw or some bonus casino game. Definitely rare.

In the past we played 'trips 'n quads' almost every home game. It's fallen off as of late, but it will probably pick up during tax season. I've even been to a game that paid for a 4-flush in the hole. 1/2/5 live ..
Trips .. $25 from each Player involved
Strt Flush .. $50
Quads .. $100
I've seen Players have winning sessions just from the prop, having zero luck in the game.
I actually won a hand with AAAA in the BB a few years back. Possible Broadway on the Turn and a flush on the River. I got 2 Players to fold when I c/c Flop, Turn and Donked River!
I think I've only had quads in the hole twice online/App and three times live.
There was a really big game running at my local casino and 'the story' goes both ways. Last hand of the night, guy gets quads to turn his night around ($8K). Player busts and says he's done with the props, buys in, gets quads in the next hand. GL

About 15-20 years ago in Las Vegas at the Boulder Station Casino I saw pocket quads beat pocket quads.
The moment I typed, "Boulder Station" probably triggered fun memories for anyone knowing the game I am talking about. Boulder Station had, and probably still has a Limit Omaha High game. Playing Omaha High as a limit game means a hell of a lot of players calling and going too far with hands. If the people smoking in that tight glass enclosed poker room didn't kill you, then you might die of laughter from some of the shown down hands.
On this particular hand, a player holding 3333 made a full house on the river and beat another full house from a player holding 2222. After a moment of full table shock, everyone at about the same time realized the 2222 hand had a 0% chance of winning this hand against 3333 no matter the board if it went to showdown.

I'm not sure what the point of this question was, but yes.

Last week I was dealt 2222. 3 hands later I was dealt 3332. Last card I looked at was the deuce. Would have been sick to get dealt quads twice in four hands.
