Hello, buddy list.

FWIW, that's about the worst extraction line I've ever seen.

I assume the reason you push this hard is because this is how you would play any good hand...ie, not readable

Once I limped to the river, I figured he might think I was bluffing or not be able to lay down any boat - don't need it to pay off often to be better than a smaller bet - or course, the cash should have been in before

Well, you've got the deck pretty much crippled here. I pretty much fear no turn card, so I'd be inclined to check this flop even four-handed. When the turn comes - whew. Bet the turn. It's awfully tough to give somebody credit for four-of-a-kind.

Fim - pot the flop? The hell for? Who can call?

I'd pot the river. I'd imagine a push would take at least nines or higher to call... but I guess not.
