Default crippling the deck. gimme a line.

Canterbury 15/30. 9 handed.

villain can get a little weird and frisky preflop (open raise QTo UTG +2), but haven't seen him do anything absurd postflop.

He raises UTG, 1 fold, I cold call with 77. SB calls, BB folds.

Flop 3 ways: A77r
UTG bets, I call, SB folds.

Turn: 4
UTG checks, I............

well, this is where i struggled. he clearly loves the ace or hates it. If he has a hand like KK and i check, he will likely bet or call the river. If he has an A and missed a c/r, he will bet the river and likely call a raise or even 3 bet me. Does this make sense? I ask cuz I dunno. meh.

Seems like an okay case for checking then. Depends on the opponent, a lot won't bet the KK or whatever on the river but will call if you bet it out from the turn. Just tough to get action with quads.

not really, as we were HU and the number of raises was unlimited. If he had AA, I was gonna get my bets at some point.

i thought about that after the fact, as a raise there sure doesn't smell like an ace.

The Andy Fox Quads Rule: Bet the flop, check the turn.

Sometimes I violate the rule. I'll let The Dude elaborate.
