draw poker move: breaking a pat hand
 

2/4 pot limit draw poker on 24h
i was under the gun n was delt TTT44
i limped in hoping to get raised
but it was folded around to the BB who checked n drew 4
so i broke my pat hand n drew 1 to make it look like id been limping with a flush draw hoping he would pair up n call my bet thinking i must have a busted flush draw
comments?

Re: draw poker move: breaking a pat hand
 

i have though about doing this several times. did you even consider drawing 2? seems that everyone at 24h draws 2 to a bigger pair. this will probably eliminate you opponent worring about you trying to trap with trips. just for curiosity. did you bet the pot after the draw or just a small value bet? i think the best play is to bet the pot hopefully they will call assuming that you are just trying to bet at someone who can't call with a 4card draw. drawing two would also seem to make it easier for them to call and not have to worry about the complete hand.

Question: what do you do if you opponent ck-raises you now. reraise or just call it down? (besides kicking yourself for breaking the hand.)

i didnt consider drawing 2 as its not at all consistant with my image
after the draw i bet the pot n the 4 card drawer folded instantly (funnily enough i drew another 4 to keep my fullhouse)
if i was check raised in this position asumming i hadnt remade my fullhouse i would more than likly just call it down unless the chips in front of us were particularly shallow
