Your post flop play was good. It would have been hard to get much more out of the hand. I would have rasied PF. That would have allowed you to extract more on such a favorable flop.

I think I'd just hope he'd continue to fire at me and hope he caught a real hand. Most of the time they probably slow down though unless he catches something. I can't see anything but TT calling you after a raise on the flop.

That being said, you did a pretty damn good job getting some money out of him, so what do I know.

What'd he have, TT?

[TheRempel]

I don't like the flop raise. The fact that he pays you off at all means he's probably a complete donk or has TT and has decided he wants to see a showdown. Unless you minraise a lot of weak hands OOP on the flop, I think a smoothcall is better, then bet out on the turn and hope he raises.

I agree with you. The min raise totally gives away the strength of OP's hand, because the opponent must call it unless he was on a stone bluff. The opponent probably has TT and calls down hoping you have just trip queens. Still, OP extracted a fair amount, but I think this is a good place for a slowplay until the turn or river.

I'm with others. Smooth call the flop jam the turn. It does suck though when you smooth call the flop w/ quads and then it gets checked to you so I understanding wanting to put in a raise. But, he MUST have a nice piece of this if he bets into it unless he constantly tries to steal pots on scary boards. If he bets full pot on the turn I might smoothcall again and push the river.

[TheRempel]

The only time I ever raise here on the flop is against an uber aggro donk that is likely to pay me off for his whole stack with just a straight draw and I only do this if I think no one else has hit in anyway. I still don't think it's the best move though.

[TheSalche]

he did have TT ... the only reasonable hand calling here

so the general consensus is flat call flop and pot turn? then maybe 1/2 - 3/4 pot river as a value bet?

how much do you think i can pump out of the usual 25 donk?

[TheRempel]

I pot the turn because I pot the turn a lot. A 1/2, 2/3, or 3/4 pot bet might better fit your style.
