War time!!
bet raise raise raise raise raise.
I finally call and he shows me AJo. i feel weak and show my quads. I read him for AA untill he didn't even hesitate on his 5th raise lol.

In my head i was thinking everyone knows im a rock so why would a guy raise me 5 times on the river without the nuts.

comments welcome

Something strange about poker players. They completely forget what the nuts are when they have a good hand. I'm sure you didn't think JJ was out there. Quads don't even enter the realm of possiblity when trying to put your opponent on a hand unless you're playing omaha, and when someone flips em over you just tip your hat, eat your loss, and keep playing.

Or did you just want an ego boost and a few atta boys?

If I was your opponent I would have raised it all the way to. Your opponent Certainly can't put you on AA, and quads?, what's the likelihood. He probably thought his Jacks full of Aces was good.
