$50 HUSNG -- An Exercise in Hand Reading

Can you ever lay down a full house at HU? I mean theoretically.. This reminds me of HoH II where Harrington mocks people who explain how the laid down a set on the flop. Especially with these low card boards.

totally different. have to think about board texture, not just absolute hand strength. a set on any flop is a powerhouse, beaten by very few possible hand combinations out there (only when both of your opponents cards have hit perfectly, and not even then still.) AND on the rare occasion you're against a flopped straight or flopped flush you've still got tons of outs by the river.

here you're beaten by any hand that contains just a single 4. folding 1 card bottom boats when bigger 1 card boats are out there shouldn't be anythng extraordinary.
