I think it is played fine so far. And I am going to go out on a limb and say you won the hand?

I looked at the Big blind like he had just shot my dog and asked him, "You got Quads?"

"Yes." was all he said.

I called, he was telling the truth.


To make it worse the Bad Beat qualifying hand is Ace's full but both cards in your hand have to play. If I had A 10 I would havd mad 2350 off that hand.

Very Mad

I totally misread your hand. For some reason I thought you had AA. My bad.

If it makes you feel any better you were beat on the flop so you didn't get rivered. And the play was fine on both sides so it's not like you got called by some donk with A3o who got lucky.

It was a tough table that night. There was a wsop qualifier in the morning and the skill level was a lot higher then normal for windover. (They usually only offer 2/5 spread so that's why these guys where playing so low of limits)

You basically had the nuts here, the only reason not to push is b/c you aren't getting called by hands that you beat. Either A/x is calling and you and chopping, A10 is ista calling a push and stacking you, same with 99.

Don't push on the river, but you absolutely can't fold here obviously.

this is a limit hand, right? you are behind exactly two hands. I would probably have 3-bet the river and (un)happily called his cap.

Isn't heads up uncapped?
