Perfect setup for quads!

This must be the most favourable flop turn and river I ever got. It could only end in a big pot, but slowplaying allowed me to take two stacks instead of one!

OMFG. that's awesome. gotta love that board and those hands. geez.

That hand would have made my day.. no my week!!

On the second hand, I've often had trouble making that call.

Not becuase I usually look for straight flushes to flat call, but becuase I often think that it sets off lots of red-flags when you check call a raise and reraise.

I've seen people call with weaker than QQ to a push there, but I've also seen people not very alarmed at the flat call. Just wondering how you usually play it.

This is how I remember the situation. The guy with the QQ had just lost a big pot a few hands earlier and was playing very recklessly seemingly on tilt. I also knew that the third guy in the hand had likely noticed this too. So by calling the raise and reraise I was hoping to drag him in, it didn't work though.
Generally I agree that when someone calls a raise and a re-raise after checking it shows a lot of strength and its not uncommon that a monster hand would be played that way, but against this particular opponent I was pretty sure he would pay me off no matter how I played it assuming that he had something half way decent.
