Default What\'s the most you\'ve won when flopping quads...

...with three of a kind on the flop?

I just about pooed myself and wondered if I would get paid off. I really did. Typical 3/6 casino game...too many see the flop, too many pay off. SB on my left is loose-aggressive but not good. Made some real questionable river raises so I felt the smooth call on the river would be raised.

3/6 B&M game last night. 10 players.

4 callers, 2 folds, Hero calls from button with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB raises, BB calls, 4 limpers call. Hero calls.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 players/14 SB)

Checked around.

Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (7 players/ 6.5 BB)

Check, Check, bet, call, call, Hero calls, SB calls, 2 folds

River: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players/11.5 BB)

SB check, BB checks, Check, bet, hero calls, SB raises, fold, fold, call, Hero 3-bets, SB calls, call.

<font color="blue">Final Pot: 20.5 BB

i just posted about this a few weeks ago, i had A6 of diamonds and flop was AAA. someone hit a flush on the river, i picked up 16.25BB.

if you bet the flop they'll all just fold probably. also i was OOP in mine so it was annoying, i couldn't trap many bets.

I wondered about when to show my stuff, especially against players that are just terrible. Would a flop bet look like a steal, or would they all pee themselves and go running? And if I bet the flop, I'm probably limiting any action after I raise the next time. And certainly 9 BBs wouldn't have gone in on the river.

Players were cold-calling turn raises and paying off everywhere so I wanted to keep everyone around to hit their boats.

The turn raise might have been a good idea. Overcards to the T would have hung around. But if something under a T comes out on the river, I'll get no action (unless a T, JJ, QQ, KK is out there. But I'd have heard from those pre-flop or on the turn).

I love betting that flop. It looks just like a steal because the blank mass that I like to call the "unimaginative mass of poker players," loves to think that everyone plays the say and that no one would bet quads. If you get raised, call it on the flop and c/r them on the turn.

I like the thought of the fake-steal-smooth-call-a-raise play.

I would've loved a check-raise, but I was on the button and the action man was in the SB. I needed him to bet out. He raised the river so I got him that way.

Trying to do the math on the turn raise...

6.5 BB after flop check-around.

Bet, call, call, Hero raises, (SB probably folds facing 2 cold, but he sucks so ??), fold, fold, call, call, call.

14.5 BB after turn betting.

Now I'm up against three players and none of the passives are going to be into me. My only real hope to beat 20.5 BB would be if the player on my immediate right tries to check-raise me with a Queen trapping all the others. But I didn't see anyone willing to do that. The only other two people who had check-raised at the table were out already.

Whoever my opponent was last night who rivered quads when every street was capped with another set, and me with the nut flush.
