Default Re: Full House, WTF?

We can ignore quads. Sure, he might have called PF with 67s, and hold the quads...I recently had that exact hand. But if so we lose, and the odds are slight.

We don't care about 33, and in fact after the turn, this is basically a pre-flop situation. No one has any help from the board, and there is an all-in to call with pocket 10's. Do you call?

Sure, AQ or QQ is a problem, but again there's a slight chance.

The villain knows you called one big raise, so he has to expect a call, so bluff is a slim chance. So either he thinks he has high card, or he has a pocket pair. Before the river, there was a slight str8 draw, but that's gone.

I look at this as a likely PP showdown, and since I'm given some odds, I want to call.

A pair is a powerful thing. I once saw Ivey call a push from a no-name with 55. He lost to KT on a flush draw, but it shows the power pro's attach to a made pair.
