Just modified post to hide the result !!!!!!!

Ooops

[bolt pp]

can i guess? 

[chrisbruce]

NO Bolt you are to fast for me .............

[paulhouk03]

yes i would bet here. not a great deal tho.

[MC]

There hasn't been a whole lot of indication he has a Jack


I'd bet about half the pot or something, cos he's calling to play the board, and if he raises it probably won't be too expensive when he has a jack...

[Longy]

Yeah bet the river and feel extemely ill when you get raised. Alot of pairs will call the river bet as they make bigger houses than the board.

[NoflopsHomer]

Reload to full stack and raise pre!!!

[totalise]

congrats on flopping quads and getting to the river with a 5bb/$100 pot... that takes a fair bit of doing.

[KarlizLV]

No, I this you should check the river with quads.

[Cf]

Why are you checking this flop? There may well be some blind vs blind history between you, but bet out and start building a pot surely? If you don't get called on the flop it's unlikely he's going to hit something that gets him interested.

[chrisbruce]

I think I played this hand pretty badly and for several reasons -

I am not comfortable and do not have the bankroll for playing $10 / $20.

I sat at the table as I was tilted from several beats on another table.

Pre flop I expect him to raise and I intend to call and hope to flop a set..............

On the flop I check as I expect him to bet...........

I bet the turn and hope he has  a jack.........

when the Jack hits the river it feels like a kick in the bollox and my tilted mind fails to rationalise it properly for what it is.

I convince myself the villan has made bigger quads and plan to weakly check call...........


I win the pot of course as the villan has none of it, so little in fact It would have been difficult to get paid any more except perhaps a 1/2 pot river.

The pot did do me a huge favour though as I stopped playing and I have had a few days off from poker which I feel I needed.

[AlexMartin]

if it was actually willie tann id c/c, but doesnt he play as jackseven or something?

[chrisbruce]

No defo not Willie Tan.

I play with him a lot on Betfair and he has a different screen name.

I wont put it here for obv reasons
