How to play with three of a kind on the board

It's pretty difficult to tell what's going on at micro-stakes.  People bet, call and raise with almost anything.  On very general tendencies, however, quads simply don't happen very often, plus if the person does have them, they might slow-play or check-raise instead of raising 20BB.  So it's not certain, but my best guess would be that your full house is good.

yeah you cant always assume one of the players has the quad.  especially if its low like a four or something.  id say your aces looked good.  of courst you have to consider if you raised the blinds out preflop

Personally once that 3rd 4 came on the turn I would be more confident of winning the hand. After the flop there are two 4's unaccounted for, anyone holding either is ahead of me. Once the turn comes only one card to beat you. Sure luck can be against you but I'd play it as if I had the winning hand.

In my opinion, you've got play this one down and hope for the best.  

Question one:  Would anyone have entered preflop with one 4?  Possible, but unlikely (but then again, it is microstakes).  

Question two:  Where is he seated?  If someone is playing a 4, they are either in the blind or sitting on a pair of them.  Since the latter is impossible, the only way I seriously put him on a 4 is if he is in the blind and lucked out.  If he is in late position, I take this as a stone cold positional bluff.

One thing that is always good to do in limit play (with a great hand and trouble on the board) is raise and wait for the reaction.  Especially if you are unsure of what your opponent has and think he may be bluffing.  By calling, you are keeping him in the hand and aren't gathering any info.  By raising, you are taking the role of aggressor and forcing him to react to you.  If he calls, I know I am probably in the lead.  If he reraises, I'd be willing to dump...but at least I got the info I was looking for.

When the board has 3 of a kind the chnaces are that no1 has quads and depneding on ow th eplayer has played it you should have an indication. With aces you'll have the best possible hand.

check/raise then reraise enough said

you have to bet your butt off when you have a large pair and the board gets trips the chance of someone having that 4th card are slim to none.

i think i would ve played pretty much the same.depends on my chip count.you know they probably slow playing if they got quads.waiting on the rerasie.

id say that u played it quite well. with the strength he was playin, u had every right to believe that he had a 4. the fact of the matter is had u not had such a strong hand in the hole, his betting technique most likely would have got u out.

first of all, rockets can get u into danger into Aany hand, they might be the best starting hand but rarely the best finishing. So just watch how you play them.

I,d bet it !! You may take a bad beat once in awhile(rarely) by the quads. So take advantage of the other 99% of the time your holding the winner. You will come out ahead in the long run !!  

i always like it when i have a pocket pair and a pair comes up on the board.  I think u played it right safely
