no it's not. You can always get someone to bluff on the river.

I think it is pretty easy to know if your beat here so trying to squeeze a few extra chips isn't the worst thing in the world.

durron, I respect your opinion here so please explain why the way he played it is so bad because I don't understand.

Sets are like gold. There is no point in trying to extract value from jack high hands, you aren't getting much no matter what you do. The idea is to win as much as possible from hands that have showdown value, or draws. You can't do that by waiting until the river in a 60 chip pot.

So would you slow play the flop and bet the turn or just bet the flop?

Don't you know you're supposed to river the quads [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Never mind. I'm an idiot, for some reason I thought he was up against one other player. Sorry for wasting your time.
