Default Re: 2/4 - I see monsters

My horrendous mistake was overlooking that Villain could easily play K9 or 98 the same way on the flop, therefore it wasn't 50/50 on the river that he had quads.

Against typical live 2/4 player, how many bets would you usually do? Does anyone 5bet this cuz now I'm thinking that might be entering spewy territory?

First of all, it's NOT 50/50 that he just made quads. Even if you assume he had 99 or 88 on the flop, then the river 98 just tilted the scales in favor of 88 (assuming he'd play both hands the same way.) On the river, there are 3 ways he could have 88, and only 1 way he could have 99, so it's basically 75/25 that he has 88, not 50/50.

On the river, I'm going at least 5 bets, possibly calling his 6th. Depends on what I can figure out he thinks I have. Can he put me on AA? How about AK? How about 88 or 99? How about K9? The smaller the range you think he thinks you have, then more quickly you can slow down. But just calling 1 raise? Never that quick.
