Nice slowplay by SB. Not that I lost much, but should I almost "expect" to get quartered here and just call the river?

IMO, you can never be too aggressive given that hand. The vast majority of the time you will scoop this pot. If he has quads, he has quads. Too bad that was the case. As far as low, you may get quartered or even sixthed here, but you will be getting high nearly every time, so I wouldnt worry about it. Good hand.

I completely agree. Given the circumstances I can't imagine playing that hand any differently.

G-Man - I haven't looked at your results and I don't think I will. I have a bad feeling you ran into quads or kings full here. (Otherwise why would you be posting?)

Since SB didn't three-bet after the turn, I'd be a bit wary of kings full and probably wouldn't cap it on the fourth betting round.

Also, I would not have raised on the second betting round. But my reasoning would have been that I might get more out of my opponents by waiting until the turn.

I would have played the third betting round (and the first) exactly like you.

The more I muse about it, still without having peeked, and thinking in terms of my own actions, capping the betting on the fourth betting round would amount to not giving SB enough respect. In my games it's often a mistake to underestimate your opponents. (I don't know about $0.50/$1.00 games).

After the flop, I'd assume I've got the best hand with the nut low draw. A 22 is possible but very unlikely, so you can expect to take the high, and most likely split the low, so you want to jam the pot as much as possible.

I'm jamming and raising at every oppurtunity here.

Not too aggressive in my book. I'd bet it just like you did - every time.
