QUAD 4\'s
 

About a month ago i posted a hand i seen @ Harrah's in Vegas and couldn't understand why the player moved in on the flop with quad's with a dry pot. Last week i was in a hand at the Wynn. Here is how it went, please advice on how you would have played the hand.

it was a $200 minimum (no max) buy-in. I was on the button and held pocket 4's. one mid position called the BB so I decided to raise to $20. S/B & B/B call. S/B has about 2K B/B has about $400 and i have about 1K. The flop comes 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Check around, turn comes 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] check around. The river comes 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. The S/B bets $50 the B/B moves in for $400 i reraise all in for $ 1K the S/B call with chips to spare.

The question is did i play my quads right?? and what do you put the other two hands on, on the river. With a better an all in and a caller to a rereaise all in.

What's the question? You got both players to put their chips in the middle so good move.

You slowplayed until the players caught up. Great.

By pushing you make the pot very appealing to the big stack who is last to act in this case.

I put them both on flushes. SB with a bigger one than BB but neither has the Ace.

The questions are:
how did i play the hand.
what do you put the other players on
and would you have done anything different.

so SB has 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

i like to lead the flop, smallish.

what are the blinds? was $20 a minraise?

Re: QUAD 4\'s
 

sorry that i failed to mention the blinds. the blinds are 2 & 5. so it cost the S/B 18 to call and the B/B 15

Re: QUAD 4\'s
 

I will guess that SB slow-played his 55 and the BB has Ace of spades.

You played it fine. The only interesting part was the river since if the SB is rational, he can only call with a boat when you go all-in. If you just called the BB's bet instead, he could call you with just Ace of spades and probably raise you with a boat anyways. Might have been better +EV play. Nice hand.

Edit: Missed the straight-flush potential. Much more interesting now.

having raised preflop, you're representing something big. my cards are almost irrelevant to my follow up bet...there's $80 in the pot, i'd make a $50 bet. just the same as if i had raised with AA or AK.

if i've been on my game i'll get action from anybody with a pocket pair or flush draw. if called, i'll slow down on the turn...i'd rather check there than the flop.

Re: QUAD 4\'s
 

What is your intention when you bet the $50 is it to get action from the guy who is drawing to the flush or flopped 2 pair? ir is it to get the drawing hands out?

and did you slow down on the turn cus the the 8 of [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] hit?
