Default Re: A hand from this weekend

Well this is interesting. I was playing at Foxwoods on Friday and saw several full houses checked. Now I understand what goes through people's heads.

Sir, why are you worrying about outs on the turn? You have a full house, which is a fantastic hand. The only hand that can beat you is 4 tens. Start tossing chips around now and raise. Not only is your opponent drawing against big odds, but he has a good hand that he will pay you off with. You can't worry about your opponents hitting longshots against you. These are the times you want your opponents to call your big raises, when they are drawing very slim and you are very strong.

Having said all this, you were going to lose this hand, but if you continue to not get money in the pot when your hand is that good you are missing out on a lot of money in the future.

Good luck!
