Re: Flopping a monster in a four way raised pot. Bet out or check?
[ QUOTE ]
Preflop is no good.
You have the entire deck crushed. A flop c/r shows way too much strength. I'd c/c the flop and look to get frisky on later streets, or if they are stationish enough I'd weak lead the flop and then keep betting.
It's really doubtful we're getting ourselves a stack here, so we just need to try to squeeze out what we can.

If the PFR has JJ+, then "not getting a stack" here is quite frankly pathetic.
I hate the limp-call with hands like this, but one thing is sure: if you aren't going to get your stack in the middle now, then WTF are you doing in the pot in the first place? If you want to make all this limp-calling even marginally profitable, you MUST get them to stack off when you hit.
Maximizing for the situations where no one has an overpair or a deuce is a TERRIBLE way to play hands like this. YOu are way better off winning ZERO every time this is the case, and stacking off every time they have QQ+ or someone has a deuce than you are trying to win $50 in all cases.
