Flopping quads choice

[elindauer]

Reraise. Everyone left in the pot has shown interest in their hand, so there's no point in trying to suck people in any more. MP is more likely to call with, say 66 now than if an overcard hits the turn and he faces 2 cold.

Good luck.

of course, but I know that they don't have no sevens and neither knows who has a seven, so the likelihood of a raising war is very slim. As Lawrence said, a reraise makes it look like a 55 flopped boat, but even that is useless because unless someone else has 55 there's no real chance of action.

Maybe you'll get caught in a war between a couple of overpairs here, or an overpair and a 5 ...

easy raise. The EP limper bet into a preflop raiser. It is very unlikely that he thinks he can take down the pot with a flop bet so he likely has a hand with some showdown value. More likely than not, you wont lose the MP with a raise and if you do lose him , you are very unlikely to get a turn bet out of him. Most players arent folding a small pair or 2 overs in this situation

It's most certainly not an "easy" raise, if it even is one.

I have less experience than the others here, but it seems to me that this may be a case where you generally stand to make a little bit more by playing exactly as you did, yet it is probably best to go ahead and raise because you stand to win a huge pot if one of your opponents does have the 55 or turns or rivers a set. Plus there is also the added bonus possibility of doing a little bit better by betting if your opponents misread you, though this doesn't seem very likely.
