I tried to play it as best as I could but felt I didn't extract enough money out of it.

Unfortunately, I don't have the hand history because Pstars isn't showing it for some reason in my history.. Tourny is still going.. but here is a play by play.



One limper. I raise around 4.5x BB roughly. BB calls. Limper folds.

Flop comes.

BB bets out 30. I hesitate, just call. Turn card... same things.

River card, he bets out 30. I raise 120. He folds. Maybe a min raise to get an extra 30? Granted it's low blinds and betting right now but I want to know how people play it with more money in pot so that I can maybe adjust my strategy.

Same tournament..

This guy 350z.. he tries to be very aggressive but i always protect my blinds on him and he's starting to check me a lot and just make calls pre flop..

My read on him was he was calling to see if I'd fire another bullet, so I did..

The guy was an aggressive douche who I knew had nothing but a draw when he bet because when he has nothing he tends to over bet or bet the pot. So I raised him, he thought about what he was going to do for 30 seconds then called. He got 4 people out in a row before me.. sick luck.. even donks get paid. Made 86 bucks tho...

I think at these stakes, I just lead out the flop for half the pot with my quads and hope someone has a pocket pair or A high or tries to steal with 74o. The relatively smaller chance of getting paid off in a big way is better than a more likely chance of squeezing out a few minibets like you did. You got 60 chips out of him. Let's say miniraise on the river gets another 30. Even if you're getting those 90 chips 100% of the time, I'd rather get his whole stack 10% of the time. Some people might put you on a pocket pair and fold A high or a small pair in face of your betting, but I can guarantee you that no one is going to put you on quads, especially not if you bet out on the flop.
