My questions is kind of silly, but why wouldn't you re-raise All In on the river? You know you've got the nuts. You might have had 2 callers thinking they've got you nailed and you would have tripled up.

I'm still a noob so I might be missing something here.

It depends on the aggressiveness of the table. If you have an aggressive table you didn't raise enought if you have a passive table you raised the right amount. I probably would have raised about 200 more, they would've called (at an aggressive table)

Betting 20 into a 260 pot is just silly. When the third 4 came up they both figured they had the nuts... betting 200 there you'll get calls, and when you re-raise all-in on the river you'll get called as well.

It was a very tight passive table a lot were afraid to bet when they had something.

yea push the river i made the same mistake the other day with a similar hand. People dont play being afraid of quads, at least not many i know in these games. U will get at least one caller cause one if not both of them have a K and think they cant be beat and u might be trying to buy.

You can only play stuff like that PF in EP when:

1. the blinds are low
2. the table is table is passive

You have good implied odds, if the table is passive. If there are aggressive pre-flop and post flop raises, you can't play stuff this weak profitably unless you are an absolute expert post-flop.


You not only need to see a flop cheaply, you need to be able to draw cheaply too.

The more passive the table is, the less I worry about position w/drawing hands. You can't raise for a free card, or semi-bluff, but you don't really need to too.

Absolutely I would have bet more...

I would have raise all in on the river to make think you what to bluff Qs or another 4!

He would have called big time! In fact, I may have called that too!!!
