One in a thousand

One of the nicest things that can happen to you at a poker table is flopping a full house. Of course, you can't expect that to happen very often. Of the 57,342 cash game no limit hold'em hands I've played for which I have the full hand histories, I've only flopped a full house 56 times. So this is essentially a one in a thousand occurrence. There's really only one way to play a flopped fatty, if you want to extract the most chips as possible from your opponents. Not surprisingly, you must not bet or raise on the flop. You shouldn't bet or raise on the turn either. You can feel free to go nuts on the river, but even there, it's better not to go all in all at once.

Last night, I flopped a fatty on hand 14. Here are the actions I took on the hand:

pre-flop
neostreet: calls 500
flop
neostreet: calls 1000 
turn
neostreet: calls 2000
river
neostreet: raises 12500 to 25000
neostreet: raises 12500 to 50000
neostreet: calls 819

Of course, I was lucky to have an opponent who did the early betting for me :-) I raked in a pot worth $108,638, $54,319 of which was o.p.m. (other people's money).
