Flopping a monster

[ChuckyB]

Long story short...
3/6 B&M game last night. Me, 7 loose-passives and 2 loose-aggressives (including SB).

4 limpers, called from button with A2s. SB raised, 5 callers, I call.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 players/14 SB)

No one bets the flop.

Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7 players/6.5 BB)

Check, check, check, bet, call, call, Hero calls, SB calls, fold, fold.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players/11.5 BB)
Check, check, bet, Hero calls (with his read on SB), SB raises, fold, fold, call, Hero 3-bets, call, call.

20.5 BB with flopped quads.


It'll be forever before I see a hand like this so...

When do you show strength if you have a monster in a hand where the bets are coming from middle position?

If SB or even BB had bet the turn, I'd have raised from the button because I've got the field trapped. But in a call-and-pray festival like this game, I didn't want to knock out half the field with a raise on the turn. Especially since if something lower than a T comes on the river, there's no action on the river (without JJ, QQ or KK, which should've shown themselves on the turn).
