yeah its a tuff one ,bit hard to say unless in the hand but,you missed the betting in between,what about pre raise.so...preraise,if called,now flop,raise again,see what he does,turn,you gotta go cauz you have AAA over KKK full house,river, well if you go down to quad kings,,just bad luck,thats poker and it happens,but you cant back down.
I would never like to find myself in this kind of situation... This can be a very nice pot to win or a very bad to lose... It's like double or nothing. Anyway as TaToOIZ said you have to examine the infos you have about your opponent. That is the key to be succesfull in this kind of situation. Like if this was the firs hand dealt on the table where i'm sitting i definitively gonna fold as i don't know anything about my opponents.

Call. It is much more likely that he has the last ace, then that he has the last king. Most kings he should have folded at the flop. So you basicly only have to fear AK and KT.

Its hard to say with out more detail, what $ is sat on the table, lag or tag etc, i think normally you would call as quads are unlikley, possably just spottweakness and playing a hero bet, but water should be tested rather than waiting for a bad river card.

What about KJ or KQ?
I would call. If he has quads, fair enough.
But I wouldn't have bet $4 in the first place, I would have just checked.
hi there i found myself in a similar position i had pocket tens my opponent had pocket ces he raised pre flop and i just call him the flop came ace ten king i was buzzin he bet two thirds the size of the pot and i called him thining i had him beat <not knowing he had trip aces>luckicly for me a ten came on river giving me quad tens for some reason he checked so i steakily checked the turn and guess wat a ace came on river he checked and i called all in thinking my quad tens was good only to find id been kicked all over the park and back with my testicles so well for slow playing but come i should have asked him the lottery numbers <u never know

Thats hard stuff but the decision definetly was right I think. The %age that he has the K is very low.. no matter how he actually played... he could slowplay it or bet aggressively.. but I don't think you would believe him to have the K.. u didn't do wrong..

without more information i would call instantly.
You are more often beaten than you win this hand if a player pushes so hardly. And why should he push with an Ace or even air? How could he know that you haven't got the quads? And,why should he risk $72.90 to win $4 without the nuts??

How was the hand Played? Did you raise pre? Did you make a continuos bet after flop? Or turn? I would probably have checked that river card since the guy checked. Feels like one big Mouse trap? I wouldnt have bet that river. But i probably would have called if he would have raised.
