Default Re: Really stupid reraise on my part. (looking for confirmation)

i think there actually is something to be learned here:
your hand is the nut no pair (K high), this means you can beat all bluffs, but nothing else. your best line on the end is to check/call a very small bet because letting someone bluff at you is profitable, as you can beat it, but any legit hand creams you (skalansky discusses this in the heads up on the end section of ToP). betting will only get you called by hands that beat you so the bet is at best 0 EV and most often -EV, and you can beat all bluff hands, so snapping off a weak JT play at this pot is +EV. obviously you're folding to a re-raise here.

BTW, yeah the play is bad, but the guy who flopped quads played them perfectly given the action and board. he got the max on a hand that doesn't often get paid off much, look at his patient play and emulate it when you hit a monster.
