Flopped Quads
Let me say now that this post has very little strategic value, I just had to tell someone :)
5c/10c limit hold’em, in late position I am dealt:
:5h::5d:
I limp along with 2 callers and the BB and we see a flop:
:Th::5s::5c:
Flopped quads, glad this wasn’t live because some might say that laughing out loud could be considered a tell! Now how to play them… The action is checked around to the player on my left who bets, I put him on the ten and decide a call is the best move here. Everyone else folds and we see the turn:
Probably doesn’t improve his hand at all, he bets again and I decide to call, if he does indeed have the ten a raise here would probably scare him off. The river:
This is my dream card! If my read is correct he’s just made a full house and is paying me off, he bets, I raise, he re-raises and we continue until the betting is capped. He turns over:
:7d::Td:
Ahh, poker perfection. Flopping quads and then having someone willing to pay them off… it made my night :)
