Had I been in your shoes, I probably woulda pushed pre-flop. If I somehow misclicked and just checked as you did, I definitely woulda pushed on the flop. Why give a free card when you have a strong but vulnerable hand which is likely to get called by a worse hand? I guess your call on the river with quads was pretty good though.

Nah, that call kinda sucked. He may call his A kicker/flush but he's not going to bet it. Get another courtesy 200 out of him when he doesn't have the Q.

pretty hard to misplay this hand. you probably should have pushed all-in on the river, in case he checks behind you. he's calling you with a queen in his hand. no one - no one - puts you on four of a kind. i don't care what anyone posts. i've seen it on tv with pros. i see it all the time online. 3 6s on the board, someone goes all in and is SHOCKED when the other guy has the 6.

i didnt really post this hand for analysis, i just wanted to prove that river quads is really a good play. but since everyone is commenting on it i'll give my thought process:

preflop: i would probably push in most situations, but, the utg player hadnt defended a blind all day, and the level of play in this tourney was so piss poor that there was a chance i could fold my way into the money. the risk was busting which if called figured to be a ver big risk. the reward would most likely be the blinds which i could no doubt get the next hand with less risk as i had not been harping on the utg at all.




flop: if i push here the only hands that call are a high flush or a pair with a high flush draw

turn: my hand has just turned into a monster. by checking i was inducing a bluff and/or enticing someone with a decent holding to value bet.

river: why not let him bluff at it again?

results: he turned over AQo with out a spade in it and i drove my chips into the horizon of victory...

Fold the river. You're behind to quad queens.

Thats right... when you read 2+2, you learn the methods to rivering quads. I've gotten pretty good at rivering quads myself... I owe it all to this site.
