With 2 opponents you should be raising as much as possible on every street once the board quads. You have more than 33% equity.

In the dark.............

From the turn on I raise raise raise. You have 4 or a kind with best kicker. If you can get an ace to fold you win a large amount. When I am in this kind of situation I tend to go manical to try to get another ace out there to fold. I don't know how well it works, but I believe it is possible to get some of these fish to fold just because they don't know any better.

raise raise raise raise. you have the nuts.

the chance the donk has less than an ace >>>>>>>>>> 1/2 of the rake you will pay if you split. this isn't even close.

on two separate occasions I figured we were splitting (one much like yours, and one with KQJTx with no flush) - both times someone woke up from the dead on the river and bet - I raised, they 3-bet, and I just called figuring a split. Both times they had nothing. Lost me money I should have had.

Now I cap with apparent splits, and am way more ahead than the extra rake I've paid.
