Would you ever fold quads? Would anyone? It seems like there are almost no scenarios in which folding after hitting four of a kind is a correct play. In any case, even if there were chances that an opponent had a better hand, it would be preferable to lose by crashing into a cooler of those magnitudes rather than folding. But it seems that for this player at the Texas Card House things are not quite like that.
The hand was broadcast on the club’s official stream and quickly went viral on social media. The player identified as «QQQ» wanted to make a hero fold, but ended up making one of the worst folds in history, mucking quad fours against an opponent who only had a full house.
The hand began with player Ryan opening for US$150 with A 3. «Spooky» called with 6 6, as did Zak with 9 8 and our dear «QQQ» with a pair of 4 4. The flop showed 4 6 4 generating a massive cooler between «QQQ» and «Spooky».

However, all players checked, revealing the A on the turn. The players checked again and the 3 appeared on the river. This last card opened the possibility of a straight flush. Although no one had it, «QQQ» made a great effort to convince himself that they did.
Once the board was completed, «QQQ» fired a bet of US$400. Ryan called with his pair of aces and Spooky decided to go all-in for US$7.565. That’s when the critical moment began for «QQQ». Instead of making the snap call that anyone else would have made, «QQQ» tanked for two minutes before finally folding.
Both the players and the stream commentators failed to contain their surprise upon seeing «QQQ»’s cards. This resulted in «Spooky» managing to accumulate US$14.600 in winnings, but he would end up losing them before the night was over. «QQQ», for his part, managed to finish the session with a positive balance of US$3.600, although it could have been much more if he hadn’t folded that hand.
