$25 NLHE Full Ring: Flop Quads, 4 way

$25 NL HE Full Ring: Flop Quads, 4 way

Rush Poker, so only 10 hands on everyone so almost not relevant. No extremes in any of the stats, even at 10 hands.

I open raise all pocket pairs, and flop fairly good in a 4 way pot, but out of position. How to extract becomes the question:

Thought so far? What do we do on the river?

I probably c/r on turn, something small to like 10 or 11, so we could set up a shove on the river. I really dont like having to choose between a donk bet on river or relying on villain to put the bet in for us. Plus the reason for doing it on the turn would be to allow us to get the whole stack in on the river without the c/r allin river shove which looks too huge.

bet flop because itll look like a standard cbet and will most likely get called. After that you could probably check the turn to induce a bluff

The turn is a bad card for us though unless he has an Ace or pair of tens 'cause he's going to read us as having a big Ace that couldn't fold the flop.

Leading the flop is probably a good idea, esp 4 way we could get raised by JJ/99/88 that doesn't believe we hit the flop. On the other hand, in this case because of the Ace on the turn he might fold/not bet if we check/call the flop.


What about as played, what do you do on the river?

I think you have to bet the river (~$10) as played although I don't think you're getting called too often. I do think you'll get called more often than he'll bet.

I really think you need to just bet the flop though.

I just want to get on board the "lead the flop" train.
