That was an option. However, how often do you get quads, let alone flop them?

You shouldn't let the rarity of flopped quads tempt you into being silly. The situation, which is not that uncommon, is that you have a probable lock on high but no chance at low. Don't give away half the pot for free; charge the low draws.

Also, with the quality of players at Party, I was hoping maybe one of them would catch a straight, or a flush, or maybe a boat, and they would pay me off.

If they're bad enough to pay you off with straights and flushes on a paired board, then they're bad enough to call a raise with straight and flush draws. If there weren't a low draw out I could see giving away a free card here, but as it is I really think you should raise the flop.

This line is correct because PusseMaster is way overaggressive and can be counted on to overplay his hands and overbluff.

It may or may not be correct in general or against other opponents.
