Well consider how many time you're going to get paid off in those situations when he doesn't have the full house. Especially when you catch someone with a worse kicker. Also, consider the possibility of a bluff. Consider the chance that the player plays this way pre-flop with a pair... maybe you can lay a set down. Although it's the hardest thing to do in hold'em

But what about when the board pairs and you have aces-full?
Maybe when the board is AAT and an extremely tight player goes all-in after calling two pre-flop raises... you might find it hard to believe he doesn't have a full house

But if an aggressive player does that move, you will just have to pay him off.
