The strangest part is the way the guy with AA did nothing but check/call postflop. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

And on a 2-suited flop, no less.

I haven't read the results, I don't know if you won. You played that hand terribly though.

i check-called because i knew they would not fold and i wasn't a favorite anymore with that flop. also i knew i wasn't laying down pocket aces. me and MP1 woulda lost alot more bets if i had bet he reraise etc no?

How you don't bet out on this flop is beyond me. Yea, you lost the hand to quads, but how often is that going to happen? Should you have lost more on this particular hand? Yes. However, you're losing quite a but more when opponents don't hit trips/quads/whatever and you play passively. You have aces, bet them for godsakes.

Without knowing their hole cards (which you didn't know as the hand went down), how on Earth could you have decided that you were no longer a favorite with that flop?

i suppose the fact that there are 4 ppl in the pot doesn't make a difference? maybe its just me but i lower my % chance to win when there are so many players in a pot and so the likelihood i was outflopped or someone easily had a flush draw or trip queens was high. plus the fact that there were extremely loose players on that table. the fact that everyone called? i am reading sshe, but i think not bettin/raising that was appropriate. had it been 1 less or heads up then yes i definately would have bet out..
