honestly, it doesn't matter. There is no way you can screw this hand up that it will make a difference in your long term roll. quads are just insignificant, you won't catch them enough for it to really matter

But next time, bet the flop. They'll probably call, because they'll never guess that you have quads.

And fold preflop.Im serious.

You really shouldn't be playing QJo up front like that.Regardless, bet that flop. As someone else said, no one will suspect you have quads.

I agree, quads are so rare that there is no wrong way to play, you're not gonna get much money unless there's an Ace out there, and you have QQ in your hand and QQ on the board-maybe then you'll get a bit of action

QJ Off from early position.....

If you have the best hand bet. Notice, I didn' say raise, I said bet.If someone else bets, and you bet right behind them, you drive people out of the pot.But by not betting in the first place, you missed two small bets on the flop since most anyone will call hoping to pair up for their full boat.By betting out on the turn, when they didn't hit, they won't call because they don't hve proper odds.

You say that like most opponents know what "odds" are.

If only that were true. I've lost 2 hands in the past week where I had a pp, the board flopped trips, I bet out on the turn, and they hit their higher boat on the river as a 14:1 underdog. I was actually in the red on my Pokertracker stats for full house until yesterday...
