i have seen that to many times when about 3 top pp fight it out. 1 will get trips, 1 will get the str8, and of course the least pair will get the flush out of it. the pot grows with every bet and i'm usually the loser. i call cause i'm pot committed. anymore, i'm more willing to throw them away than i am to play them, just depends more on my position... pfffft!
ps..i play limit poker.
