Well i don't know how many radiohead fans are here, but i know some of you listen to music while playing poker. Their 7th album is free to download, or pay whatever you like:

I'm listening to it now and it sounds pretty good so far.

cool, i might catch up with ship it this month.

AA vs 9-10 o/s 3 bets preflop. then 3 bets on flop of A-Q-J board. runner runner club for flush.

AA vs k-10 and q-10. hitting 10 is ez, hitting both is fun.

A-Q vs a-9 and Q-J o/s. Nut flush on turn. double pair board at river. mucking is fun.

My avg per hour this month is $2. i'm still in the green so that's pretty funny.

THIS IS WHY YOU DO NOT SLOWPLAY, PEOPLE

REPEAT: DO. NOT. SLOWPLAY!

So I open 77 in MP, and a weak-tight guy in the SB 3-bets, which means QQ-AA only. TAGgish lady in the BB calls 2 more, I call.

Flop comes down J77. SB bets, BB calls, I RAISE (goddamit yes! Do not slowplay!), SB thinks about 3-betting but just calls, BB calls.

Turn is J. Good news for SB, bad news for BB. SB checks, BB bets, I RAISE, SB folds, BB 3-bets, I 4-bet, BB calls.

At this point, the dealer stops scooping chips into the pot and leaves our bets in front of us, assuming we'll be chopping. 2 of the BB's friends have gathered behind her.

River is a 3. She bets, I raise, she calls while the guys behind her yell "come on! chop chop already!" I show quads, she mucks, I take all the monies.

See, when you flop quads and raise, it's the last hand anyone puts you on.

Of course I got lucky that BB filled up on the turn, but even if she didn't, SB was going to stick around and put a lot more bets in with his AA (which he admitted to folding on the turn).

Thank you PJ, on your lesson of how to play the nuts.

JJ is the nuts on this board.

Do you not agree that like 99.997% of poker players smooth-call this flop? In fact most 2+2ers are still slowplaying in these situations. Scoff all you want, but most people suck at maximizing profits from monsters.

i don't usually slowplay the nuts and i likely wouldn't here but i don't think it's that clear cut. the obvious overpair is likely to blow out the BB when you might be able to trap her for 2 bets on the turn. she might have even folded her jack if SB 3-bet, which would have been disaster.

I got berated for this play while fooling around at a 3/6 game. Apparently I was supposed to not get value out of my hand in order for any possible jackpot to come in. I was borderline speechless.

That's a totally standard response in playing BBJs live, isn't it? I had a a guy in AC spend the better part of an hour explaining BBJ strategy to the table (in a tournament, so not that we were playing for at that point) and berating all the idiots who raise AA/KK/whatever pre-flop in those games.

In most cases you want to play it fast against aggressive opponents or if you have an aggressive image. Its kinda like the same situation as a 77Q board. You raise on the flop sometimes and you raise on the turn sometimes. I can't speak for all 2+2 but i do see some people slow play when it doesnt warrant it. Anyway i was mostly joking with you boss haha.
