Flopping quads in Omaha - oh, what to do?!?!

Flipper

Played this hand terribly . BOBBB is likely to stay with most hands. Other two are solid.

What would you do? I only pot at the end to make it look like a steal. Bet at the flop perhaps???

IMO there is no set play for what you do here, a lot depends on what has gone before and your opponents. You could certainly bet at the pot and guys like BOBBB will probably still call you with kkxx, if the guy is fishy enough you could keep firing on the turn. Against some of the crazies in PLO , you could always bet the flop, bet turn, check the river and leave them bluff as they might think your weak, or alternatively check the turn, but overall since nobody else can have a strong piece of the board, with the exception of JJ, the chances are no matter what you do, you won't extract mega money out of anyone.

Check flop. Call turn. Small value bet on river. There's no way you're going to get much money in this hand. Only an underfull/AA will pay you even a small bet here, even BOBB. I think you plaayed it fine, though I probably bet small on river more than the "looks like a steal" pot bet.

Flop check is fine. I raise the turn and bet river. Not a lot more you could do in this case though.

are proper fking bstds to make a killing on. I mean you want to scream hallelujah, sp, when you flop a monster like that but cant get any fish to come to the party. I like to bet the flop anyway though i guess it makes no odds, nobody is likely to call any bet there unless they flop the boat are they, cause some folk like to go mental with any fh. Whats more depressing is, the next hand a raggey two pair will likely take down a monster pot!

I'd probably take this line too. The tuen bet is only 2xBB.
I'd raise this, but not by a huge amount. Not enough to scare them off. And then bet smaller on the river.
