I would never break a pat full if it meant any significant compromise on my chances of winning.


I've played a heap of limit draw and i've done it once so its not the most crucial of spots to worry about in my view

The double bet after the draw often (see: USUALLY) compensates for your lowered chance of winning the pot making plays of this nature almost always worthy of consideration.

You'll win a few less pots but those you win will be much larger.

In holdem this fact is less meaningful (win % vs. size of the pots you DO win) though it does enter in a fair amount; in stud it rarely is part of the decision - stud pots are usually big enough without trickery.

You are, of course , correct that the situation the OP describes will not occur often; a once-a-week player could easily go a lifetime without it popping up in LIMIT; P-L, however, demands plays like this be made all the time.
