This hand happened at my weekly home game.

I am the button and it folds around to me.  Blinds are 15/30 with the average stack around 2000.  I look down at  queen of clubs  queen of diamonds  Raised it up to 75 knowing that the SB was real tight and would get out, but the BB is a very aggressive player that would at least call.  Hoping he would reraise, but he just calls.

Flop:  queen of hearts 4 of diamonds 8 of clubs

I've got the nuts and its a very safe board.  The agressive BB player bets out 100.  I just call to give him a chance to bluff again.

Turn:  7 of spades

Again, not a real scary card unless he was drawing to a gutshot with 5 6.  He bets out 150, and I reraise to 450 thinking he was a weak Q that hit 2-pair.  He just calls (both now in for about 1/4 of our stacks).

River:  6 of spades

Now the board has gotten worse so when he bets out 500 I just call (thought about folding, but top set is a tough laydown against a super agressive player).  He turns over  4 of clubs  5 of diamonds for a straight.  So he called my reraise on the turn with bottom pair and a gutshot, and caught the miracle 6.  After the flop his only outs were runner runner 6 7.

I know this is the type of play that over the long run will work out in my favor, but those couple times out of 100 that it gets there REALLY irk me.

Actually he has running Fours as a way to win the hand as well but yeah, he sucked out. I don't mind his play so much. You could have had AK. And he didn't know you had a Set so he could have felt that he had outs with another Four or Five.

I wish he caught running 5's.  My Q's full would have taken his hole stack!  Running 4's would have horrible, but still runner runner.  Either way after the flop he needed runner runner.  And after the turn he had at most 4 outs.

Edited since I noticed you said 4's (quads) and not 5's (boat).
