In the middle of a limit Holdem game on Partypoker ( freeroll ) and they are paying out on 400. I am doing fine, when I see I have pocket pairs. As you do, I raise..

Along comes the flop and to make things even better another player has got pocket Qs and he just keeps betting and raising..

Happy days eh.

Very nice. And very lucky you got action.

I hate flopping the nuts unless Im in multi-way pot and its all in preflop.

You have to love that. He obviously thought he was ahead all along, although he did check and call, maybe figuring you for a lower pocket pair. What are the odds? Awesome.

agreed. he had no idea you had the best hand. well played

Can someone please tell me why it is so much easier to write a whole page on what a jerk you are or how horrible you played a hand than it is to say YW when someone tells you nice hand or some equivalent. It's not just on the poker sites but, I can think of a few people on here who can't wait to to answer you in their know-it-all be sure to have a horilbe day way. Instead of trying to seem like you know everything try to respond to someone asking a question like you would want someone to respond to you. Sorry I don't mean the majority of you on this site but, I just had to finally vent it out of my system today.

Sorry about any typos on the above post but, everytime I tried to post it by the time I was done they told me I was no longer logged onto the site. I know I'm not the fastest typist on the world but, It did'nt take me more than 5 mins. I would'nt think that would be long enough to be logged off. I have had this problem alot. Is there something I might be doing wrong to get logged out? Anyone know

What I dont get is why the hell if he was raising into you, did you keep ending the round with a call? Why not raise back since hes so sure about his hand, then he would raise back at you? By the looks of it you could have easily maxed out the betting every time yet you ended it early with a call.

This hand you should have raised again preflop and pushed on the river. You did not extract maximum value with your quads.

Very nice hand and even better flop.
Nothing to say about that.

But I think your could have get more out of this pot by re-raise more. Now you only raise double. You could have re-raised many more and get more out of it.
But hey, still a nice pot. ;)
