    Default 100NL: flopped nuts, getting most value

    Hello guys! I'm new to this community, going to participate in its life.

    I have some problems getting the most value of my nuts hands.
    Here is the first one. I flopped 4 of a kind.
    After I played it I realized that I hate my play in this hand.

    Villain is 29/19/1.4 over 640 hands. He opens 20% UTG and his fold 2 CB on flop is just 35%.

    How should I play? Sure you will understand that my thought process is smth like: "Oh jesus finally I flopped it. No way to c-bet he gonna fold and I will cry a river". So I always try to slowplay it. I think it is pretty bad. If I check/call it I will show that I have a showdown value and it will be hard for me to get value on later streets. If I c/r this blank turn he will fold every hand except of KJ, AK, JThh, AJhh type hands.
    And on the river I went AI pretty fast in order to think him I bluffing but I think it is really very bad cuz my passive line really looks like I had a FD.

    So what do you think my line in this hand should look like? Sould I just value bet three streets?

    No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (5 handed)

    saw flop

    SB ($101.50)
    Hero (BB) ($100)
    UTG ($120.85)
    MP ($26.65)
    Button ($40.55)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with QsQc
    UTG bets $4, 3 folds, Hero raises $12, UTG calls $9

    Flop: ($26.50) Qh, Qd, Kh (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $10, Hero calls $10

    Turn: ($46.50) 8s (2 players)
    Hero checks, UTG bets $20, Hero calls $20

    River: ($86.50) 4h (2 players)
    Hero bets $57 (All-In)

    half pot on the flop imo
    you can still get it in very easily with that bet sizing

    $16 on flop, slow playing like this never results in you getting the most value from your big hands.
    "This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

    If you play against this guy often, then balance is necessary and you should be c-betting the flop.

    If not ...

    Then I like the way you played it.

    I dont like it either.

    Villian will fold just about any hand, AA and KK will call, AK will prolly fold.

    I think it's alright. You have the deck crippled and he will give about the same amount of action with hands that call a flop bet if you check. There's a slight edge to checking the flop if villain has a hand like 5-5 or a complete miss, too, which probably comprises a big part of his range.

    ^^^^^^^^ What he said.

    If you play with this guy a lot or there are regs at the table you play with a lot it sets a bad precident. However, if none of the above is true the slow play is just fine, perhaps even optimal given how aggro online players get when you show any weakness.
