could you fold Quads?

The $5k on Saturday was pretty bunk. The table I was at was ridic. I played decently imo. I busted Bax with AA>AK, and I saw him play the sickest hand I've ever seen in my life in my opinion.

Infinity limpers, Scott Montgomery of the November 9 makes it 400 at 25-50 in the cutoff. I call in the SB, Bax calls in EP, Kevin Saul laughs, almost folds, giggles, shrugs, and calls 350 more in middle position. Flop 447. Check, check, check, Scott bets 700, I fold, Bax calls, Kevin makes it 2100, Scott calls, Kevin calls. Stacks are about 15k effective. Kevin says, after Bax's overcall and before the turn, "You flopped quads Bax." Not a question. A statement. Turn 7. Bax says, "There's somebody else in the hand," and bets 1500. I stand up and start laughing. Kevin looks like he just saw his grandmother naked, and reluctantly calls, and Scott calls. River is another 7, I really LOL, Bax bets 1500, Kevin ships like 10k total, Scott tanks, finally calls, and Bax *snap* mucks 44 face up. I bet that in the history in NLHE tournament poker nobody has ever flopped quads and then bet/folded the river.

So, Scott calls it off on the river vs. two sets of quads, and now has to go and get noodles for the biggest Noodles Last Shorter bet ever, a full dozen of the motliest crew ever. Best. Bet. Ever.

I was playing heads up about a week ago when there was quads on the board. Board was 88883. For some silly reason I decide to value bet my jack kicker on the river out of position. My opponent comes up over the top and I'm forced to fold. I know this is really cheap/lame compared to the example above, but I did fold 'quads' nonetheless.

that depends... do i realize i have a straight flush? or am i george wolfe?

[DevilFish73]

No Dave, he is making fun of me.. I folded a straight flush once in a period of total tilt.. I knew the guy was drawing against my two pair with the ace of spades and the river gave him a four card flush.. I mucked my hand in disgust and realized after that I had a straight flush... lol.. It might have been the sickest poker experience of my life...lol

actually dave is making fun of me i had a similar situation a few weeks ago on the turn i made a flush and knew mike had a set so i just did not want the board to pair when it did i was so mad i did not realize i made a st8 flush and checked and mike check behind with a full house. mike showed his boat and i flip my cards up in anger and found out i made a st8 flush

not to hijack the thread but this sounds really terrible

you are only going to get called by hands that have you beat. if you think your J kicker is somehow actually good, you should check/call instead.

You guys are all terrible, I'm ashamed that I associate with people who have such fits of rage while folding the nuts... geez Ben
