'Oh, but he might have a better full house.'

Dumbest shit I've ever seen.

Quiet virgin!

If you play Holdem, yes they do. They absolutely do.

You can have a spot at my table any time😁

He has Kings full. There is nothing that can beat him but Aces full. He folds to a bluff that no poker player would ever fold to (even if they were wrong).

Learn the game.

It's 2nd nuts. Many times you can deduce villian likely has the nuts based on history, their range, and play on each street. There are so many good players who will indeed put their opponent on the nuts and fold 2nd nuts whether right or wrong. There's a bunch of examples on youtube I'm sure. The casino live stream games post every day with sick hands and laydowns. If you don't have the best possible boat, you can sometimes deduce if your opponent may actually have it.

I apologize, it wouldn't even be 2nd nuts. It's probably to 3rd or 4th nuts depending on the board. If you're boated, and you don't even have the best boat possible, that means your board has paired.

Meaning there are also quad possibilities you could also be losing to. Which, again, boats have folded to quads before. So not only are you aware that theres combos that beat you, you know exactly which combos beat you.

Only noobs think their boats are always invincible.

player obviously knew they were in a movie, where that happens nearly every time!

The thing is, in Holdem when you have a full house (esp if it's not the best possible house) it's because you're sharing the board with everyone. Three of the cards making your house are also three of their cards too. Unless you have the best one, there are two or three different card combos that's possible for somebody to hold. It's not often, but it happens, and good players can actually sniff it out by deduction. Sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong, but it happens.

Crazy things in poker happens all the time. If you play, you have a dozen stories of players catching their miracle two-outer, or holding the exact hand that could beat you.
