It's so easy when stuff like this happens. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Not just bragging, I swear. Did I play this okay?



By the way, this is my first time with quads at a real cash game. I have had them 3 other times, once in a freeroll(flopped quads 6's, guy bet into me the whole way, but folded when I raised the river) and twice at play money tables.....DAMN did this feel good. You know how it is, yelling at your monitor for one card to come up....and it does. Felt great. Anyways, how did I play this hand?

There's something wrong with the converter, so I can't really tell what happened. What did you do on the turn and river?

Hmm, the converter has been screwed up lately. I'll edit my original post.

I thought I would just post the results because they didn't really matter all that much. I bet the guy with AA is kicking himself. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think that you played this fine. You were kinda short stacked and the bet on the flop was about 1/2 your stack. You have to raise so that you don't give draws proper odds to chase, so a push is really the only think you can do.

If you had a deeper stack, though, I would have just raised because otherwise, you're losing value against players with mediocre hands. Granted, it worked out this time, and normally at these levels, you'll see people calling down with a LOT of weird hands, at higher levels, and against better players at these levels, you'll get worse hands to fold. However, like I said, given the bet on the flop, your short stack and the draw heavy board, you played this just fine.
