Poker.com is cool

I am really starting to enjoy playing at Poker.com right now. First of all they processed my withdrawal quickly and were a delight to work with. Second, they have huge overlays in their guaranteed tournaments. Case in point, I played a $2K guaranteed last night that only had about 74 players at a $20 buy-in. I played solidly almost the whole game sitting on or near the chip lead. All this while getting beat by quads twice! Here's an example where I flopped a boat and lost to quads:

I guess I was not going to get away from this hand anyway. When the third Jack fell on the turn I should have folded because any higher pocket pair would have beat me, but I ended up losing less than if I had pushed early.

I did get lucky a couple of times at the end with the blinds getting high but busted out in 4th place taking $200:
