Keeping a Kicker
This is probably something well-known, except I don't know it! When playing any kind of "bonus" poker, where you get more for 4-of-a-kind with a kicker, if you are dealt, say 3-2's with a 4, do you keep the 4 with the 3-2's, thereby reducing your chance of hitting the fourth 2? Thanks !

Save that kicker in TDB when you have three aces! It's a tad scary and sometimes it works!

Most of the time I don't. But there has been a few occasions where I did and it worked out. I read that in TBP you hold the kicker. As I said as a general rule I don't and I have hit a lot of A's with a kicker in the last two years.

In TDB your suppose to keep the kicker for all little ones. But your also suppose the keep a 4 card flush draw over a pair on a 9/7 game. I won't do either.
