I was there on sat playing 3/6. Didnt see the hand but heard all the shouting from across the room. Good job.

Default bet the flop

checking after pf cap says "moster" in flashing neon. Course I don't play 80-160 so maybe not in this game?

Of course checking the flop reeks of a monster, as many of you have pointed out. But I just counterfeited the entire deck on the flop, so no matter how obvious it was, I needed to give him a chance to catch up a little. I am fairly confident he would have folded to a flop bet. This guy was doing everything he could to avoid playing hands with me. That's why I think he only went 6 bets on the river.

Yeah, of course a few more bets would be more appropriate and well-deserved, but do you have any suggestions for how to get them? I thought I milked it as well as I could. Not sure how else to play that hand.

After he makes it five to go on the river, go 'into the tank' and really think hard and sigh and put on a big depressed act that the board just double paired and say, you know, I don't think you have an Ace, and MAKE IT SIX!

Get a more aggro image. Alternatively, next time you flop quad aces against smaller quads, try to make sure a K or a Q is the 5th board card.

Also: refrain from 4-betting this preflop heads up a fair amount of the time, it's much easier to induce excessive postflop action that way.

Bet the flop and he'll be 100% sure there's no way you have AA. Not re-raising pre-flop is another option. If you didn't reraise preflop and you bet the flop, I bet you would have gone about 50 bets on the river.

I raise under the gun with AA, and UTG+1 3 bets me with 88 and I cap it

Since when did the Borgata make it capped betting heads up?

but this surreal hand went down in the 80/160 game:
