There's a time to slow-play... and HU with quads on a dry board like that... that's the time.

About the pot being big and our top priority being winning it... that's generally true... but here you're misapplying it. The concept only matters when there's a chance of being outdrawn. Here he'd have to have JJ+ and hit runner runner quads to beat you. To say the least, giving him a free card here has the best chance of building a bigger pot. You won't even be outdrawn 1% of the time here!

You have top quads here ( ), so there's nothing to worry about. Go into check-call mode on the flop and the turn and then push the river.

Dont forget the runner-runner royal. But yes, time to check is now.

Everyone's reply seemed to assume that he bet because he was worried about giving a free card. He bet the flop because he wanted to win a big pot and the best way to do that is to get some money in on the flop. If you think your opponent has an overpair here, then a flop bet might be OK (though I think the preflop re-raise might have scared 99-QQ?).

That said, I think checking is best. Let them catch something or give them a chance to bluff at it.

Yesterday I had the same hand, flopped quads with 1010 on the button. I checked flop, min bet turn. My opponent had K5s and hit a backdoor flush. He check raised me all-in on the river!

Uhm... no. I think it's obvious he isn't betting because he's worried about giving the free card. I figure he bet because he re-raised pre-flop and wanted to make it look like a standard c/b while building a bigger pot.
