I was playing with 7 other people yesterday, $10 buy in. I was doing pretty bad, I had about ten bucks even. So I get delt pocket J's. Blind is 10cents, the guy before me rasies to 50, I call along with 3 others. Flop is Jack, Jack, Queen. I'm almost pissing my pants trying to keep a strait face. Someone bets 1 dollar, I call, one other person calls. Up comes a Ten. The guy before me bets 3 dollars which is pretty big bet for $10 game, I raise to 5, both the other guys call. Up comes a King and he goes all in, I call and the other guy calls. The pot is about 28 bucks (around there). One guy shows a strait, the other guy shows a flush, I show the 4 of a kind. Knocked two guys out.
I have a huge chip lead at this point. Three round later, I get delt pocket 3's. Flop comes Ace, 7, 3. Everyone checked, I bet 50 cents. Everyone fold except one person. I scared alot away. Up comes a 4, we both check. River card is a 3. He bets a dollar, I rasie to 2, he fold.
That night I cashed out a $54, which is really big. The old record was $35. I was doing really good that night, best game I've ever played. I've only got 4 of a kind once, but in a span of about four rounds, I get it twice. I hope I can take some luck into my game tonight.

Sounds like you got some pretty nice cards. I hope you do as well tonight.
The best I've ever done in a $10 buy-in game was $150, but that was because they had a lot of money and didn't know how to play poker very well.
With the pocket 3's I would never have expected a set to improve to a four-of-a-kind... the odds are insane. And to have two quads in one night is great.
