I thought I might put something in on the river to look like a questioning straight bet, hoping to get anyone with a flush draw or a real straight to hang around to the river and disguise my quads.

The second hand was really annoying. I felt if I called then checked the river the guy would probably check behind. I didn't want to let him see my cards cheaply so I felt that a raise was on, but he was tight enough to lay it down. I guess in the future I have to take the chance and let him see the river and hope he hits it or bluffs at me and I can get him where he's more pot commited.
