Everyone's A (Potential) Loser

Liquid's YTD: $223.45

Quoth Napalm:

I am recently trying to learn PLO from Liquid, but under his wise advisement, lost a $120 pot last night with the third best full house. WTG Liquid.

Hey, I told you to lay that boat down. Didn't I? Well, I was kind of thinking in the back of my head that you really should consider it, maybe.

Interesting thing about that hand: all three of you could have had the third-best hand. After the turn the board was K77A. You had K7xx; beatable by A7, KK, and AA. (So cheer up, you could have had the fourth best hand!) Foe #1 had A7xx; beatable by KK and AA. Foe #2 had KKxx; beatable by AA and 77. Foe #2 realized his situation: even with the biggest stack, the actual winning hand, and position, he didn't re-raise a dime. Foe #1, though, couldn't wait to push all his chips in. Good thing he was the smallest stack.

Regardless, Stewart Reuben throws up the stop sign on page 92 of Pot-Limit & No-Limit Poker:

You have 9-7. The flop is 9-7-7, and you bet and get two callers. Forget it. One has 9-9.

He's probably not playing the $0.50/$1 tables at PokerRoom.com though, where one guy's calling with queens and the other has a gutshot straight draw.
