Probably it's one of most untypical hands and questions around here. As we are talking about an absolutely bulletproof nuts hand here. But still, how would you play in such a multipot on early stage of the tournament, so that you get most chips of it? Do you like my line or you have some other thoughts? Best of all if you share your thoughts about how would you play that hand and situation in a Freeroll and in some serious MTT. As it's two complete different worlds then.

Very nice hand indeed. So the key with a hand like this, where you know for a fact you win, is to: 1) do everything possible to keep the villains in the hand by either giving them very easy calls or playing into their aggression
2) get the villians to put as much money possible into the pot


You actually get really lucky here and the other three players are especially eager to gradually put some more money in the pot for you, but you might have been a little too eager on the river. It's great that they all called and you won a ton but you could have also risked getting a few more blinds in there if they got spooked by the monster hand. I would have done something more like 3/4 - pot sized bet just because it seems a bit easier to call than a shove against three aces. Checking-calling is a perfect move on ever other street because you're basically letting them dictate how much they are willing to pay you every round.


Now for the second part of the question. If you're playing this in a freeroll, especially in the early stages, you can usually get away betting 1/2 pot and get called by anyfish that limped in with an A or any pair since most people will just be playing their hands and not paying attention to yours. In a more serious MTT, there's gonna be a lot more caution so personally I would slowplay this and try to play it as either full house with a weak pair or a set with two top kickers and try to either catch a bluff from another player or get someone to overplay a full house. Ideally, you get this hand with a super aggro holding top pair.


Hope that all helps/makes sense and hope you get a ton more of those hands!

Nice :D

What about Your line... It's hard to tell because they could do everything on that stakes. Players in freerolls usually do not know what they are doing, so if You take their stacks thats great :)

In normal tournament scenario of full hand would be different :p

Thank you both for your attention to my hand!
Especially thank you, thatguy6793 for great extended deep analyze of the hand. Glad to see you sharing my thoughts on most things. Make me feel they are right one. :) You are right about i was a bit too eager at the end with my shove, but it's surely because of freeroll status of the tournament.
By the way one had full house jacks on 9 and another straight with QT. Really luck yeah. :) And thanks for your wishes, i wish you having more of such great hands in some serious tourneys too!

Quads vs 5 villais is very difficult to happen. You must extract as many chips as you can. Check on the flop, someone probably bet.
On the Turn if still 2 or 3 with you, check again. Or bet a small amount, 1/3 of the pot for example.
And on the River if there is one or maximum 2 players, bet half of pot. You might get one call.
The point is to maximize the chips earnings on that hand. Because it s not gonna happen again soon. And with Quads, a monster hand go get it !
Cheers and good game mate
