Correct play or a waste of time?
I was playing at a 2-4 limit table the other night when I was involved in a hand with 2 other players. After the river was dealt the board had Quad 7's and a Q. I was on the button with AJo and the guy acting first bet, the second player folded and I raised. The guy who bet first got mad and said that my raise was stupid and a waste of time sinse it was obvious that we both had Aces and would split the pot.
I thought it was the correct play because I was not risking anything by raising and could only gain an extra bet if he did not have an Ace. The only waste of time I could see about that play was waiting for him to finish his minute long inane rant. Would any of you just called in that spot?

Re: Correct play or a waste of time?
I always just call on river when I have the nuts.

Re: Correct play or a waste of time?
We had a bizarre one in a 3/6 game at the casino. The board had quad 9s and an ace. Three people in at the river. One woman bet, next player raised, third player re-raised, then the original bettor folded. (!)
Never hurts to bet in that situation (unless you think he has 3 queens in the hole).

Re: Correct play or a waste of time?
How is it obvious that you both have aces? Keep raising until you can't anymore. More than once I've pushed people off a multi-way split just because they don't know any better. I don't mind charging them for a poker lesson.

Re: Correct play or a waste of time?
You obviously have the nuts here. Quads on board with a Q, and you have an ace, clearly you have the hand won, if not a split pot. Raise and keep raising until you can't raise any more. The only real question is- how did you hang around with AJ if there was 2 or 3 7 on the board after the flop?
