Default Re: Paul Kammen\'s book

"I don’t think I’ve lost with rolled-up trips to a bigger set more than once or twice. It’s mostly been straights and flushes and a couple of full houses."
2-3 out of 100 seems improbably low. My rolled hands are beaten by other rolled hands about 10% of the time. I do agree that this isn't so significant that a drastically different way of playing is warranted based upon this reason. I think the more important reason to slowplay big rolled hands is to not scare away smaller pairs and to encourage them to hit their two pair or lower trips.
