Default What\'s the river bet?

Still learning here, bare with me. So I hit quads on the turn, pot it, & get 2 callers. River brings a blank, what's the best play here?

a) Pot it, & force a crying big full call
b) Value bet it & hope the big full comes over the top/other player(s) calls.

If the value bet is correct, what is the bet?

BTW, the 2 I'm playing against are in the top 5 of the most winnest players in PT & I respect their games. Both are fairly laggy.

PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $0.25 BB (9 handed) converter

BB ($26.35)

UTG+1 ($28.75)

<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.5</font>, MP3 calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50.

River: ($15.10) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

BB checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets $14.35, BB folds, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: $29.45

Default Re: What\'s the river bet?

My default play here is $6-8. Since you are last to act I assume they checked to you. (didnt look at results yet). I dont think you get much value out of potting it since if they wanted to get all their chips in they almost could by leading themselves, and they will sometimes anyhow when you bet smaller.
Roughly half pot seems about right- something a full can call.

I do believe you're right, I got all excited &amp; wanted maxium value. I respect their play, &amp; I didn't figure they were playing low draw only hands after they both called the turn bet. I suppose the J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] also killed their top boat/middle boat hands as well.
