And this is the confusing element. I lost 2 big cash pots holding an underdog full house, on fairly innocuous boards too - no broadways. Then I folded 2 full houses that would have cleaned out my opponents because, as you said, they only saw what theyhad - which was two pair - and not the risk of a full house. They insta raised all in and I instafolded both times, sure they'd hit their K and A full houses. They didn't. And I felt like crying, lol



And as for your going broke comments, then it is worthwhile betting out to scare off Mr J4.
As I said in earlier posts, on a double paired board with the underboat a lot depends on the action in early streets, post some HH of those hands for review
