There are times, especially when you are at
the turn, when you have two pair or three of a kind and a straight or
a flush is so likely (given the board and the action) that you realize
you probably need to hit your boat on the river.
In these cases, we have a 'drawing problem'
and can use our usual technique to determine how likely it is for us
to hit our full house.
Drawing with a set:
Count of the cards that will make the board
pair:
There are three queens, three eights and
three twos. That is nine outs (ten if you
include the King for quads).
Multiply 9 (outs) by 2.2
which rounds to about a 20% chance of making your full
house on the river.
Drawing with two pair:
Count of the cards that will make you three
of a kind, to fill out the boat: The two remaining kings, and the two
remaining queens:
Multiply 4 (outs) by 2.2
which rounds to about a 9% chance of making your full
house on the river.
So as you can see, with the set, you have a
much better chance of hitting your fullhouse.

When facing a very likely straight
or flush, determining whether to lay down two pair or three of a
kind on the turn is a tricky business.
You need to take into account
the chances that your current hand may be good, and the chances
that you will draw your full house.
Generally speaking, the
factors usually indicate that you should call.
You have a strong hand and
a reasonable draw to a better hand that might see some serious betting
action at the river.
