This is funny, I actually hit part of the BBJ in a very similar hand and lost value and still kick myself for it.
$2/5 game, and at this casino the qualifer is Aces Full of Jacks, also important to note that you do NOT need to have a PP for quads.
I open in the HJ with AJs for $20, CO 3bets me to $55, all fold to me I call. Flop AA4, check/check, turn 2, I bet $85 he calls, river 8, I bet $110 he calls, rolls over QQ and we both celebrate the win.
I had about $650ish total behind on the river, and if I had thought longer I would have just shoved. I was pretty sure he had JJ-KK, but basically for him it would have either been, call and win the pot, or lose and win the BBJ, so a no-brainer call.
Still kick myself for that.
