Re: The poker gods giveth and they taketh away

So now I am left with trying to decide if I am playing against a chaser, someone passive or someone with enough smarts to bet the scare card.

I think this is what is so tricky about this hand. I've faced a lot of players who don't hesitate to bet huge on the river to sell the idea that the scare card made the nuts, when in fact they have far less than that. They're aggressive and fearless enough to make a cold decision that their only chance to win the hand is to make a huge bet on the river to scare another big hand away. But not having any read on this guy, that's a tough judgment to make.
Ugh. Glad I'm still playing cheap, lower-stakes poker.
