Let's hear it for not slowplaying

Excellently passive PF table. CO has 2.5BB left for the river. I was planning on C/Ring MP3 on the river and getting bets from both of them, but I guess he freaked out with the Q coming. It worked out anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Since you limped from MP3, there's really only one hand that gives you quads here: the one you have. Of all the hands you could have limped and then bet on, it's hard to believe they'll put you on this. It's much more likely you have a pocket pair or ace high, and anyone else with a pocket pair or a good ace is going to contest this. Good bet on the flop; I don't see much value in slowplaying.

MP3 raising and capping on the turn is a thing of beauty.

After all the turn action, I'd have led back out on the river. Man, it sucks if CO doesn't wake up and bet here.

It's very possible that you even missed some bets by slowing down on the river.
