Rob, I do not agree with your "special play" about holding only the three aces in a dealt full house in 7/5 Bonus Poker. However, I should note that Bob Dancer says he would only hold the three aces if he played 6/5 Bonus Poker.

But let me get back to my objection to your strategy.

As you mentioned the dealt full house pays $175 and I would not want to risk $175 for a 2.1% chance of winning $2,000. I think it's too much to risk for too little of a chance.

However, I once told how I was in a deep hole one session and I was dealt a full house with 3 aces playing 8/5 Bonus... and I broke up the full house and caught the quad aces. But I only did it once and never again. In that case I was risking $200 to win $2000 but I was more than $2,000 in the hole and it was "hit the quads" or go home. I know that when playing 8/5 Bonus you would hold the $200 full house.
