MP1: $2.05
MP2: $10.00

Pot Size: $7.85 ($0.75 Rake)

Results below in white:

BB had ThTs (a full house, Tens full of Threes) and WON (+$3.25)
Hero had 9s9c (a full house, Nines full of Threes) and LOST (-$3.85)

Did I have to protect my fullhouse on flop here?

I think call is good on flop, raise would be maybe too obvious. I'd raise on turn but villain went all-in which is exactly what you want here too. losing with this hand is just bad luck.

You're being results oriented (don't post the results btw), a 3 has 1 out against you, TT+ has two outs. Even if you gain nothing every time your opponent improves and lose the remaining $3.40 every other time, you're still getting the best of it. The only question is whether a diamond or overcard kills your action.

Hi Zeffke!

degnic is right. You cannot avoid going broke here. A call on the flop is good. You don't have to protect your hand, because normally your opponent has two outs at most.

Btw.: Please don't post any results because the answers you get could be biased.

Good luck at the tables!
