6/12 live question about Quads
never thought I'd have a question about how to play my Quads but I'm starting to get back into limit from NL and this hand just came up. I don't remember the exact details of the starting amounts but this will suffice:
8 players. 6/12 MP: $400 CO: $500+ Button (Hero): $400 UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP (aggressive) calls, MP1 folds, CO (aggressive) calls, Hero (I've been playing TAG and haven't shown anyone any big bluffs or unusual plays) has K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] raises, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG1 calls, MP calls, MP1 folds, CO calls. Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG1 checks, MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets, UTG1 folds, MP raises, CO calls, Hero raises, MP calls, CO calls. Turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] MP checks, CO checks, Hero bets (I hope one of them hit a FH), MP raises, CO calls (huh?). What is my move? Do I re-raise and figure both of them filled up and they'll keep paying me or do I flat call? I can't think of any river card that would slow them down except an A if they put me on AA or AK. I figure I just keep raising but want to get some opinions. This was very puzzling turn betting. |

Re: 6/12 live question about Quads
Keep raising. One or both of them has a fh hopefully the nut fh. Its ok to squeeze a player who got counterfieted or has AA or something out, bc they either cant improve by the river or only have a 2 outer to improve. Dont sacrifice the value of a raising war w/ one player just to keep a player who wont put in much more in the pot. WHo knows maybe they both have fhs.

I am not sure why you mention the bad beat jackpot. By the turn, it is impossible for you to lose this hand. No straight flush possibilities on board.

Rob [/ QUOTE ] Right, though it would be pretty sweet if the 8 rivered. I agree with everyone, you're probably up against a diamond draw or a boat or both, no reason to slow down here. I've slowplayed quads in LL before but this is definitely not the time. |

I was just thinking about slowing down the re-raises in hope that the river would bring even more good fortune but I can definitely see the point in re-raising again. I'm just moving back to limit after years at NL and this hand was really a funny one to me. |

Rob [/ QUOTE ] I understand that and that's why I didn't bother to mention it in my OP. I just thought I'd throw it in later. I was hoping at least one of them had a FH and would hit their quads also. I would have been fine with the 25% of the BBJ. |

This thread should get locked IMO.

I think I now understand why they say the University of Chicago is where fun comes to die.
And raise again. |

Slowplaying sucks in general.
Slowplaying really sucks when it looks like your opponents want to put money in the pot. |
