    Default Flopped Quads lc

    I knew i had an absolute stranglehold on the deck, but is it still better to bet this flop and hopefully build a pot with someone who has a pp, or show weakness to induce bluffs and bigger calldowns and let worse hands catch up, (hands like Ak, Aq, Kq, etc)

    On the river i was hoping he would have a ten because i knew i would get his stack, but his bet size immediately told me he didn't so i had to raise smaller for value.

    Without any draws I think it's fine to just check the flop, except against call stations, then I'd bet like 1/2 pot or so to build a pot.

    Then if you can get away with it from an aggressive image or something, I would raise the turn to something like 27 and bet even more on the river.

    Your river play seems good as played though - it really looks like a bluff...maybe you could even have raised more or flat out pushed.

    I'm in favor of betting 1/2 the pot here.

    I dont mind a check on the flop, it really depends on how tight our opponents are postflop and what hands they will call with and the likelihood they have one of those hands. On the turn I also dont mind a call simply because a check on the flop and raise on the turn is screaming "I have atleast 1 9," its for that reason that Id want to bet the flop because they wouldnt put you on a 9.

    On this river Im pushing. If he doesnt have a T, then he isnt going to be calling a raise with much if anything, if he does have a T he is not going to fold to a push.
