Committing to much with small house?

[Spellbinder]

I know I had the full house but it was made up of small cards...just wondering if shoving it all in was the correct play. I checked to prompt a check raise but then sort of chickened out but when someone else checked raised after I called I crammed it. I suppose I shouild have check raised and not been chicken but the house consisting of all small cards with still 2 cards coming made me freeze up

Is the proper play a check raise then? (where i did the check call (cluck cluck) then all in on the flop)

Thanks

Yep, it's the right play. One of your opponents must have the flush draw (I assume, or perhaps even in these microstakes games he could have as little as the straight draw - any case, he can't have a hand that hurts you) and the other guy presumably has a 6 (with your TWO 3s in hand making it less likely he has a boat). If he has a 6, chances are he has 3 overcards, in which case you're 60:40 favourite. If he has a pair in his hand or a deuce to go with the 6 (i.e. he now only has 5/6 outs) you advance to a whopping 75:25 favourite.

Either way you want the money in here.

You'll find this situation harder when you have a low boat and your opponent just calls along - because every card other than a 2 will put a higher boat on the board, every card is a potential one that can lose the pot, and, with deep stacks, you can easily be pushed off your hand by a player with position on you (i.e. you don't want to be calling huge bets with 63 on a 663AK board). However, when you can get your hand in with the CURRENT nut boat you should generally do so when the stacks are shallow.
