Do you give him credit for the quads?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) http://216.119.70.224/converter/hhconverter.pl

The only note i have on the guy is that he only min raised AA preflop.

Now, I had been playing rather tight, so i thought that just calling here would work better than reraising.

Button ($19.17)
SB ($65)
BB ($38.43)
UTG ($34)
MP ($116.99)
Hero ($73.55)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
1 fold, MP raises to $3, Hero calls $3, 3 folds.

Flop: ($6.75) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $5, MP calls $5.

Turn: ($16.75) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $11, MP raises to $30, Hero????

I definately would have checked the flop right on back. Way ahead or way behind.

I don't know i think he would just call you on the turn with quads, but I am not sure.

Hero calls. Hero has a very nicely concealed AA. Up against a pp here more than quads. If quads, that's poker.

Dubra · #5 07-20-2005, 02:19 AM

definitely call.
he has a pp and doesnt want you to catch a high card

I think quads would play it like this, they want you to commit to the pot so they can place a larger bet on the river. But no way can you assume quads you have given no indication of AA, for all you know he has a smaller boat (which is any boat)

Looks like he has it or he has a pocket pair your beating. Maybe if your turn bet had been a litle bigger it would have been easier to fold this if he came over the top. But I don't know much about NL. I'm just guessing.

Edit: Opps, I thought you posted this in the wrong forum. I just realized I'm reading the wrong forum. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I want to start playing some NL soon. So this was my first post in the NL forum.

I don't give credit for the quads here. Call him all the way down. Why should he suspect that you have AA? He's probably got something like TT (so many more ways for him to have a pocket pair than to have a Q) and believes himself way out in front.

Yeah, I didnt give him credit for. I figured that at best he had KK, so I pushed after his turn raise. He ended up having KQo (cant believe he raised that, especially to 3), but the important thing is that you guys all agreed that I was likely ahead, so I feel good about my play even though it lost me some $$

I raise KQo in six-handed game.
