flopped quads - slowplay fell apart

[Wingnut]

I'm sure this was not played optimally. Table was med-loose, fairly passive. I had seen only one hand go to a big betting war, and none of those players are involved in this hand.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB checks.

BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, MP2 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, BB folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Sweet! They're betting my hand for me. I didn't want to anyone to call two cold, so I'm ready to c/r the field on the turn.

Turn: (5.75 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
Hero checks, MP1 checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 folds.

Sweet! Flush got there. Hmm...I guess in retrospect I missed a couple of bets here. I was still thinking I didn't want anyone to call 2 cold. This still allows me to c/r the river...

River: (7.75 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP3 folds.

Final Pot: 10.75 BB

Flame away.

It happens. I think you did fine calling the turn with one guy to act behind you. As the hand turned out a c/r might have gotten both to fold. Your opponent needs a decent hand for you to get good action in a case like this. I can imagine him having 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] or something here.
