[briachek]

I just beat up on the preflop raiser in the pevious hand for a medium pot. Maybe he could be tilting a little but maybe not.

I know my AA is good but my side cards aren't that good so I just call. If he had a smaller stack, i would raise preflop. On the flop, I'm pretty damn sure he doesn't have a 9 with how he bet but I got two people to act behind me. What do you do? Call and shut down if anyone else calls? Should I have just lead out?

Well, I've played a lot of PLO and I've never seen ANYONE bet pot on the flop after hitting quads. So I'd call and hope he fires off more bets on later streets, and be prepared to call an all-in even, especially if you think he might be steaming a bit. If one other player smooth calls this big bet, the alarm bells start ringing of course. Sure, you'll feel like a doofus if he keeps firing and turns over a 9 but, honestly, have you EVER seen anyone play flopped quads that way? I call bullshit.

[briachek]

I KNOW i was beating the preflop raiser or at least he also has AA but the two people behind me scared me the most.. What about leading out? Seems to be something someone with a 9 wouldn't do and if I get a call, I shut down.

[briachek]

well, I was chicken here and folded. They folded behind me and he showed KKxx. I knew I screwed it up.

Monsters under the bed my friend. Pot's laying you 2-1, you are (in all probability) up against an opponent you have buried (with a 2-outer) and IF one of the other players comes along, you can always slow it down on the turn/river. I figure there's much less than the 2/3 probability one of the other two guys has the 9, and you have good implied odds if the PFR player is going to fire again on the turn.

I'm not wildly keen on leading out; you're building the pot for anyone with a 9 (who obviously won't raise, so you won't gain any info) and potentially pushing out guys with TT-QQ who might shove in a bet on later streets.

i know i screwed it up. This post is part embarrassment for me to make sure i don't do it again.
