Default Re: Misplayed high hand


Well, imo, you had two choices:

A) Fold on the turn. You showed strength, but MP1 shows greater strength. Your full house is most likely no good.

B) Call on the turn and on the river. The pot is large. Also he might be raising with Full House 9s which you can beat. This is hard to believe though. Still you have pot odds and you only have to be right a minority of the time.

So some of it depends on how you see your opponent. If he's a rock, you should fold the turn. If he plays around a bit, then your hand might still be good. Like you mention, with limit, it won't cost you your entire stack to see if your full house is good. Is he likely to overbet an underfull?

Sometimes you just gotta pay off. It's hard to imagine your opponents have the honest-to-God nuts all the time.
