Dude!?  Why'd ya come right out and bet quads?  Did u flop them and fear someone catching bigger quads or a str8 flush?  BTW the odds of either event are slim even with baby quads...

You must have bet pretty big for them to all fold...

Good rule of thumb is to try and let your opposition think they're catching up when you have a huge hand.  I'd suggest a small bet if not just checking.  Then if you see a str8 on the board or a randomish flush, check-raise(it can make them think you're the one bluffing).

Ah but you're in SnG's yeah?  Then u have to bet pretty much the same or even not bet at all(depends on stakes though)...  I get that part...

But if it was a ring game your tactic wouldn't work so well.  In fact it wouldn't work at all.  Deep stacks + very different strategies + it's not the same when what you win you keep(as opposed to the symbolism of tournament stacks).

You might want to try a shootout at FTP or a bounty at UB.  Very different dynamics but if you're really good...

With a bounty you can make money without finishing in the money.  I doubled up a couple of times without finishing in the money.  With a shootout, you just have to be good at coming in first in STT's.  They're pretty cool because if you make it to the final table, nobody has the chips to dominate with.  Everyone has the same chance(not counting experience and skills).  The hard part's making it to the final table.  Still, it's worth a shot if you can get in one for a buck or two.
