Early in Stars 3r, flop quads.. now what?

[Dr. Moreau]

Very early in a Stars 3r (15/30 blinds), everyone is crazy as always.

I flop quads, what is my play? As expected, there are 6 people in the hand, many hands previously have been all-in pre-flop or on the flop.

Bet and hope someone has a PP.

Lead out for t140, or something in that range. If nobody wanted to play with you it was pretty bad luck.

What about if I pushed all-in on the flop?

What about if I slow played it to the river, letting someone else be aggressive?

shove preflop, its a rebuy.

Shoving on the flop won't work enough to pay off in the long run. It's easy to part w/ the t30 the others have limped with even most pocket pairs can lay down here.

Checking the flop and betting the turn after it gets checked around looks more like you want to steal it.

I almost like betting t30. Give the impression your trying to sniff out other pocket pairs or the 4. I've found some will even call with paint hoping to pair and get take it down on the turn.

Thanks.. but I'm trying to win and not get chewed out for pushing with a 34o.

Definitely don't wait until the river. If someone wants to play they will play on the flop. Make a regular bet and hope someone tags along.

if you care about what others say online in the little chat box, then LOL.

as far as the actual hand, just bet it the whole way, during the rebuy hour, people chase more because they know they can just rebuy. any pair and usually A high will call you down.

edit to add: if you are over thinking hands during a rebuy, STOP IT!!!! I hate rebuy hour questions, my answer is always push preflop, or bet bet bet. if you dont get any value, so what, they didnt have crap to begin with anyway and were hoping to flop big.
