i hate chasers

so i had time for one stt tonight. did a great job getting into the money. had an agrodonk to my right who would raise every time it was folded to him with only me left to act. i thought about pushing w/Q10 off at one point but decided to wait for a better spot. that came when i had 66 and he did it again, I shoved and he called w/A3 offsuit. thanks dude.

the short stack was terrible. i knew i could push her around like nobody's business so there was no way i could finish less than 2nd. until this...

well i had a dilemma here. i thought he probably chased the straight and hit it. if i fold i can still pretty safely get into 2nd but i knew if i won this hand i'd take it down. i play very tight before the money, but once it gets to 3 i dont mind gambling. and i'm not playing for 2nd, i'm playing to win. so i called and of course he showed Kc10c. blah! stupid chasers.

Welcome to the bloggiverse! I give ya props for playing aggro styles 3-handed, but for the record, when you raise preflop, get called on the flop, and bet into on the turn by someone you've been pushing around a bit, it's almost a certain indicator that 1 pair is no good. I woulda folded the turn. But then again i'm a pretty shitty STT player. And I agree with you, chasers do suck. But it's nice when they tell you they've made their hand, which she tried to ;) Good luck to you.
