Would you play this the same?
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.
