Quad 5s - How do we get his stack in the middle?

[Andrew Fletcher]

Is villian just too bad for me to get any more value out of this situation? His line is so passive, it makes me want to puke.

As an aside, I've gotten quads like three times in the last four days. This is the biggest pot I've won with them.

Pot turn, especially against passive players

bet that turn - you're either getting money from his K or you aren't getting anything.

Any K calls any bet here. Get half his stack in on the turn and the other half on the river.

[Andrew Fletcher]

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm not scaring away any draws with a pot sized bet on the turn and he ain't folding.

I've become so obsessed with pot control that I'm not trying hard enough to infalte pots in situations like this.

Pot control is good for when you need a cheap showdown...Pedal to the metal here brother......

inflating the pot is exactly what you WANT to do in situations like this.

[Andrew Fletcher]

I'm a tool for not shoving my money in as soon as possible. Did I learn nothing from TOP?!

The quick and unanimous response for the board confirmed by own ideas. I'm a total loser for not potting the turn and demanding an additional street to shove my money into the pot.
