Extracting value from a hand (PLHE)...

    I check my big blind for in the Fitz last night holding 33, flop comes 3T3, I check and it is checked around to the button (who is ****e) who fires €10 at the pot, I smooth call but everyone else folds. The turn and the river are blurs to me, as long as the board didn't pair and there were no straight flushes on then I was happy. After the turn I check, he bets €20 and I smooth call. He throws another €20 in after the river (which I checked to him) and then I reraise him all in for the €50 or so he has left. He duly calls and flips over a T for 2 pair and is shocked by my quads.

    My basic questions here are, against a better player would my constant checking/calling and then reraising all-in have made them insta-fold or would the fact they'd already bet so much into the pot get me the call I needed?

    And secondly, there wasn't really anything I could do after he bet at the flop to get more people to call was there?

    He over played his hand obviously. A better player would prob check/fold or push the turn depending on the scenario, reads, etc. Definitely not bet the river after you checked as you are only calling with a better hand.

    Secondly, no.

    As for extracting value, he did the work for you.

    A good player may check the river suspecting something. i'm not sure you would get as much money out of a decent player.

    Secondly, No not really.

    Most players should have had alarm bells ringing by the turn flat call and would have checked behind you.
    You're never going to get a decent quad value out of an unraised pot OP, lucky to get what you got.
