Hi All,

Although this is my first post, I've been a lurker here for about 6 months, and have learned everything I know from this site. All the wisdom on these forums has greatly helped me develop my game, and become a better player. I am more of a tournament player, and have been pretty successful playing MTTs. Since I've started playing MTTs 3-4 months ago, I have moneyed to the tune of about 7k, placing second and third in several pretty big MTTs.

Ring, however, has always been my weak point. So I have decided to polish my cash skills somewhat, and whore some bonuses in the process. While my ring game is starting to get better, and actually show decent profit, I still have several leaks I need to plug. The hand below isn't one of the leaky hands, but I still would like some input on whether it was played correctly. Mainly, 1) Do you make that turn bet? And 2) Do you reraise the river

I do realize that this is a rather extraordinary situation, and despite the fact that I've run into quads with nut boats 3 !!! times in the past 2 nights, it is counterproductive to be scared of quads, and this is probably one of those hands where if you didn't go broke, you didn't play it right. Any input on the play is still greatly appreciated, however.

Yea I bet the turn because I want to find out what laxinfish is up to, its quite possible your ahead of his overcards. And I'm all in on the river.

Congratz on your delurkingness by the way.

I think I've played against you in a few Bodog MTTs, my screen name is "Polso Potenza."

As for this hand, I'm broke as well, and definitely firing every barrel.

Hey Andy, yeah, I remember playing against you on Bodog several times..You're always the damn pushy big stack at my table

j/k

I couldn't quite decide what the villain had, from his turn reraise. I figured that most likely he limped into a big pot with a connector and caught trips, or perhaps had a someting along the lines of 77-JJ, which I still had 10 outs on. But yeah, you guys are right, there is no way I won't put all my money in if a similar situation was to arise again.

Against that heinous background, my crimes were pale and meaningless. I was a relatively respectable citizen - a multiple felon, perhaps, but certainly not dangerous.
