Ive played 28k hands at stars and ive had quads 8 times, is this a normal amount?

I also played live a fair bit during July and had quads 3 times.

Did i sell my soul to the devil or is this pretty normal?

Also, here was the least fun hand i had this weekend - i was rushed with a few tables pinging so didnt calculate the potsize reraise pre hence i underbet it a smidge:

Dealt to Mr Diceman [Kc Ks]
dng_ps: folds
Mr Diceman: raises $2 to $3
coinworld: calls $3
gelica: calls $3
ChristianS86: folds
ppazz: folds
EB-Rats-MC: calls $3
pbktje: raises $2 to $5
Stonz: calls $4
Mr Diceman: raises $17 to $22
coinworld: calls $13 and is all-in
gelica: calls $19
EB-Rats-MC: folds
pbktje: calls $17
Stonz: calls $17
*** FLOP *** [Qd Td 2s]
pbktje: checks
Stonz: checks
Mr Diceman: bets $82.65 and is all-in
gelica: calls $14.25 and is all-in
pbktje: folds
Stonz: calls $41.15 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [Qd Td 2s] [2c]
*** RIVER *** [Qd Td 2s 2c] [As]
*** SHOW DOWN ***

Mr Diceman: mucks hand
Stonz collected $53.80 from side pot-2
gelica: mucks hand
Stonz collected $66.75 from side pot-1
coinworld: mucks hand
gelica leaves the table
Stonz collected $80 from main pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $203.55 Main pot $80. Side pot-1 $66.75. Side pot-2 $53.80. | Rake $3

KJos, 1/3rd of your stack preflop, yeah sure ill call and stack off on a straight draw. Damn shortstackers.

What pissed me off was Stonz said "ty" in chat after he won. Aaaagh, not much tilts me but stuff like that gets me.

Woke up like an hour and a half ago...I love "holidays" or whatever this is. I played a quick session, and I'm playing better than I have in the last month. This hand sucked donkey balls, though...this might as well be a one outer because the extra outs pushed me towards the call. I used my entire timebank on the turn and really only called because the guy was dumb, so I figured he wouldn't be so aggressive with a set. Full Tilt is so rigged.

Sorry.

Does anyone know, if I raise pf and everyone folds, whether it counts in my vp ip? I can't imagine it wouldn't .

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you have a reason to think it wouldn't?

[/ QUOTE ]

My VPIP has been unusually low the last couple days... but I figure between playing on more aggressive tables and being stuck Friday night/Saturday morning, I just hunkered down.
