The night of the fours

Last night's session had an unusual feature - an abnormally high percentage of the hands which won big pots contained a four. At different times, I was both a victim and a beneficiary of the fours. Here's how they made their presence felt:

hand 8: Seat 5, dealt a four and a deuce, won a pot worth $15,800 with two pair, fours and deuces

hand 21: Seat 9, dealt a pair of fours, won a pot worth $67,900 with a full house, fours full of eights

hand 25: Seat 9, dealt a pair of fours again, won a pot worth $97,500 with four of a kind, fours. This hand took me to the felt. I'd been dealt a big slick and called Seat 9's all in preflop bet.

hand 38: Seat 6, dealt a four and an eight, won a pot worth $5,200 with two pair, eights and fours

hand 44: I was dealt a pair of fours, and won a pot worth $10,700 with a full house, eights full of fours

hand 49: I was dealt a four and a nine, and won a pot worth $1,600 with a pair of fours

hand 73: I was dealt a five and a four, and won a side pot of $36,000 and half of the main pot of $108,700 with a five high straight; the opponent I split the main pot with had been dealt a king and a four

hand 75: I'd already sat out, so I wasn't in on this hand, but happened to see the result just before I left the table; someone won a decent pot with two pair, tens and fours

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 74 hands and saw flop:
 - 5 out of 10 times while in big blind (50%)
 - 5 out of 11 times while in small blind (45%)
 - 29 out of 53 times in other positions (54%)
 - a total of 39 out of 74 (52%)
 Pots won at showdown - 9 of 13 (69%)
 Pots won without showdown - 1
