Re: Boat to Quads....how do I get more value?
I hate the c/min-raise line with sets. c/min-raise + some other big action post flop is usually an alarm bell for the preflop raiser with an overpair.
Lead the flop for 3/4 pot. You might do this with 55,77-TT, for example, and you will often get JJ-AA to raise. I think leading as the default play, and only occasionally c/r'ing or even c/c'ing to mix things up is probably better for playing your sets OOP like this vs fairly tight preflop raisers who are likely to have a big pair.
I also think a 1/2 pot bet on the turn might be better than c/c or c/r.
As played, bet more on the river. Villain might actually call a 3/4 pot bet with AK (2-pair with ace kicker). So, at least bet 3/4 pot. Make it about $13.
