Not that this comes up every day, but how would you play it if you flopped quads in a seven-way pot that was capped preflop? Obviously I don't want anyone to fold on the flop, so I'm just calling if someone bets before me. Given that the button bet and five people called before it got back to me, I think not raising here is akin to taking $90 in cash and lighting it on fire. If I just call the flop, I can't really check again on the turn and take the chance that the button will bet again into six callers, so why not get an extra $15 here from everyone? Of course I'm hoping someone actually has an overpair and gets frisky on the turn, but the way it played out is fine with me. The turn is actually a serious action-killer for me unless someone has a 9. Or I should say, the turn SHOULD HAVE BEEN a serious action killer for me. Instead three people called with various ace highs. How about the guy who over-overcalls the turn with AT! Oh the humanity.
