Default Re: Full boat hand

Flop bet is pretty 50:50 you probably have the best hand but if you get calls you'll be screwed because people will do that with 6s, trip 8s, pairs and high overcard. I wouldn't do it but meh.

Since you've been made on the turn you have to keep betting. Any trip 8s are going to the felt anyway so getting the money in is no bad thing. Overcards will fold but you won't make much from them by trapping. Pairs and 6s will be cautious and you might lose some value by betting out and having more cautious players fold but that lost value is far , far less than the value you lose by not betting and allowing weak trip 8s to get out of the hand without putting all their chips in.

From the way you posted this I expect you got beat by a bigger full house but that'll happen sometimes, I stack off everytime with a full house at NL50 when there is only one pair on the board.
