$100NL Flopped Quad A's . Best strategy to extract $$ ?

FearNoArt · #1 02-21-2007, 01:20 AM

Though this situation doesn't come up much, what's the best way to extract the most from this ? Is maybe a flop bet the best, that way it looks like there is no way you have an A ? Maybe an overbet? Are my bets too small ? How do you play these situations ? My first instinct is to check.

King is a miracle card for you.

Bet more on turn and more on river.

I like a flop bet. As played more on turn and river. Why are you limping A7s from that position PF?

I hate preflop.

Your bet on turn is fine, push river.

Yeah, it really looks like you have a small pp. It's debateable whether or not you should bet the flop - I think I would. Even if they put you on a small pp they might call with KQ anyway.

But either way the K is a great card for you, so I would bet the turn a harder and after getting called would just put vilian on a K and push the river.

i dont like a flop check, If we all off a sudden come to life when a high card hits then we look even stronger, if we bet the flop villian knows we have a house, but he may think his jj is good. Or he may think he has some odds to take one off with jq kq whatever. my guess is that since all 4 aces are gone, he flopped a house and we need to build that pot asap.

Betting the flop does look the more profitable, rather than checking it. King is a great card for me, but during the hand, i'm thinking maybe villain has something like 99/TT/JJ , etc and I don't want to scare him out of the pot by representing a K, so I made a small bet to make it look like I was taking a stab at the pot, and really hoping if he had a K he would raise.

As far as not raising PF, well it's one of the leaks in my game, not betting often enough PF, but I am working to rectify it.

The preflop mistake wasn't that you didn't raise (although that would have been better), it was that you didn't fold. A7 suited or not is garbage from that position.
I would have bet the flop in this hand, as played you might as well push harder on the river. your not getting called here by someone not holding a K so no need to try and bet those hands in.
