Got Even?

I experienced the strangest variation ever last night. The good news I ended up with a small, yet satisfying profit after a bizzare start. Here is what went down:
I get A-A in the small blind on my second hand and raise to $50 and get 5 callers.
The flop comes J-5-2 rainbow and I bet half the pot.
The big blind comes over the top and the action folds around to the button.
The button re-raises and I fold.
The big blind folds.
“You have J-5,” I tell the button.
“Yep. I out flopped you,” he says and shows J-5.
Then, I got a speech.
The very next hand I get A-A again and make it $100 to go.
The only caller is the small blind and we are heads up to a flop of J-8-3.
I bet half the pot and my opponent goes over the top all-in.
I have him covered by $75 and insta-call since I put him on top pair.
He shows Q-J. Long story short, he rivered another Jack and gave me a speech.
The very next hand I get 9-9 and shove pre-flop.
I get one caller that is holding Q-10 off.
No waiting. He flopped quad 10s.
Sick.
After these three hands, 7 players got up and left.
I rebuy and my two suckout opponents join me at another game.
My first hand at the new game is A-A. I end up folding to a flush on the turn.
An hour passes before I get another playable hand: A-K.
I raise preflop from early position.
Mr. Quads raises me. Mr. Trips raises him.
I just call and Mr. Quads just calls.
The flop comes Kc-9c-2h.
I check.
Mr. Quads bets the pot.
Mr. Trips goes all-in.
I come over the top of Mr. Trips and go all-in.
Mr. Quads calls.
I normally don’t slow roll anyone, but after I got it in good twice and got a speech afterward, it was time for me to get even.
I expose Ac to make it look like I am on a draw.
The turn is 5h and river is 10c.
I then show the Kd and take down the entire pot.
Pleased that I not only felted two donks in one hand, I was also able to get even in chips.
The rest of my session went well. The best part was I went on a run of playable pocket pairs for 6 straight hands to earn me a nice profit.
