Default 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.

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.

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 agree although technically I wasn't exactly slow playing them. 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.

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.

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.
