I would have raised 4BB preflop vs unknown Villain with 70BB+ Cbet flop 2/3pot like allways and take it from there.
The way you played it is fine maybe you could pot it on river.....but still you would like a call on river and noone has shown sign of a good hand so....

Yep. First in you could have made a normal raise. Pot would be higher at the flop and you would have been able to bet higher, if you get callers. If not, you would have collected the blinds.
Normaly the golden rule is to never open limp in a shorthanded game. If your cards are good enough to play them, raise it up.

Would have bet 4bb preflop too, you can slowplay the flop with quads like you did but 1/2 or 2/3 pot bets are more likely to be more proffitable. (your preflop bet makes it more likely that you will be called when you bet the flop)

True about limping, never limp in shorthanded tables unless youre blind and want to see flop for free because youre out of position. At least min raise and I would raise almost as M3, standard 3xBB, in this situation. After that raise some of the blinds could try to bluff you out of the hand thinking you have overcards if you raise weak and it is a trap heaven after that.

Who should call a bet on the flop? We hit this flop so hart, there is not so much left for our opponents. So a check to lay out the trap is not so bad a play.
After we have missed to build the pot preflop, there is no real chance of getting all the money in. Only if an opponent has QQ and thinks he is slowplaying us. But after the "preflopaction" this is extremly unlikely.

smariano77 You played this hand very bad. if you play in Nl 50 you must know that players in NL 50 will call more bet than in higer stakes. slow play with quads wasn't good in this scenario. You must build pot, so start do it on flop. cont bet 2/3 pot is good in flop
