Do you mean keep three of a kind plus a kicker or to discard two cards?
In what game? Jacks or better? Triple Double Bonus?

I don't understand the question. Isn't a full house one of the possible outcomes if you draw to three of a kind?

I think the question should be do you keep a dealt full house or go for 4oak.

Toss the 3 of a kind and go for a royal. You only live once.

You keep the full house in most games. Of course there are exceptions. Like in triple bonus if you are dealt 3 aces and another pair you keep the aces (and a 2,3,or 4 if dealt). In DDB you keep 3 aces and throw away any pair.

You need to give us more info on what game and what the cards are.

You should continue training and learning strategy. You're not even close to ready. It's not going to help posting here until you teach yourself more.
