I'd probably just check again, unless they have KcXc it is hard for them to continue against what looks like a really strong bet from you. For the same reason I don't like a flop CR, they won't put you on quads but they'll sure think you have an 8.

Heads up I could see leading the flop but again firing into two people including the raiser just seems too strong.

you def don't want to lead so much that you price out a draw, if you are betting flop or turn make sure you lay them 3/1, no one will fold a FD getting 3/1 and it may look like you're trying to set your own price to draw.

I agree with drmcboy. The K is a scare card, but it's also a bluff card, so at least give them a chance to bluff. If they don't bite, I bet 1200-1500 on river.

Since they led out I'm c/c till the river. then I still may check but would throw some bet out there for value. If they got nothing I doubt they are going to fire a 3rd barrel anyway so I'm not giving them a chance to check behind me. Hell I might even shove AI on the river and see if anybody that has a part of it is stupid enough to think you are stealing and will call you down. Usually doesn't happen but you have to try and think outside the box when trying to get paid for Quads. Gotta try shit that makes them go "what the hell..."

The bet on the turn was bad though as you chased anyone drawing with less then a K. If you have action in front of you let them continue to build the pot. The one time that it's super to be a station.

[TheSyphon]

I'm not betting until the river. The problem that is nobody has an eight, and you're praying that somebody has a King or gets squirrely.

Look to CR turn. If foiled, bet ridiculously big on the river since the pot is already decent w/ 2 flop callers and you might as well go for broke.
