Hi!

I have one problem and therefore a question.

I have never come up with the next percentage:

What is the percentage to be beaten by higher full house?

I know this is kind of stupid question, but lately i get beaten by a lot of higher full houses. The cance to catch one is not that high and then when you catch one you raise and raise and your oponennt show higher, is very costly.Cuz if i play these hands passively it brings me no good too - no profit. Can i expet that this "hexe" will turn in my favour sometimes?

The same goes for sets. pocket 8s and at the end QQQ against 888. Does this happens a lot or just me?
How should i play a set when i flop one? I just cannot come up with the raight play for sets so please help me.

Thnx in advance

Hey tadejusce

I'm not sure there is a definitive answer for you. The board texture, the action so far and opponent reads are the only thing that might get you away from a full house cheaply.

In general terms, Full House/Set = the nuts. If you start getting scared your opponents always have better FH/sets then you may lose money by not betting these hands aggressively enough.

Just remember, just cause you lose full house to a better full house, or set over set, doesn't of itself mean you've played the hands badly... these just happen sometime.

Any hands you are unsure of you are best to post in the evaluation forums.

"...and then I was like "?", and they were like "..." and then it all came down to the cheese making method. Needless to say

I know that theoretically one in 113 times you have a set someone will have a higher one. But basically when you have a full house caping is the best play.
