Should I fold a full house?!

[Andrew C Kreye]

I have pocket 9’s UTG. Open to 12. Both blinds call. Dream flop of 933 rainbow. SB bets 20 and we both call. Turn Kd. SB bets 20, BB folds and I raise to 75. SB jams all in. Only two hands I lose to so I snap call. River is a brick. He turns over pocket kings and we lose.

This player was the deepest stack at the table and had been playing fairly loose all night. Do I chalk it up to a bit of run bad or is that a good call?

Realistically no, and thinking about folding is like when people flop the nuts, get it in and lose to a one or two outer on the turn and start questioning if they should have gotten it in (I had someone sit down and question that to me). Maybe if you are like 400+ BB deep and this happens then maybe you can find a fold but I’m guessing you were between 100 and 150 BB deep.

You have exactly 4 combinations of hands that beat you, one combination of 33 and three combinations of KK. If you are ever folding here then you are only ever calling with KK or 33 and I don’t think you ever have 33. You got 2 outed, it happens.

Yeah,
Plus, sb might play A3 this way, 43s, 53s, Kx, thinking that board hitting more of his range than yours, having opened utg.
We would aslo sometime expect him to 3bet pf with KK, so you cannot blame yourself for getting it in (he might have AK, KQ, etc)
