Flop small full house

[flair1239]

A little background. I called the COs raise pf, because A) he was a poster, and I really did not think anyone who had already acted would fold (correct thinking?)

I felt the need to play this fast from the beginning, as I really felt vulnerable. The board pairing again on the river scared me, I felt I was correct in simply calling the raise (on the river), as I felt there was a fair chance I was beat.

That said I think even if the pot was small, I still would have called. Comments on all streets appreciated.
