Chasing

Yesterday morning stopped in at my local casino for a short session.  Only game going was 3/6 limit, which changed to 4/8 kill.  I just cruised along with little variance for two hours.  On one hand I limped behind a crowd, on the button with 7/9.  Flopped a 7, called flop, turn bets, and rivered a 9.   The betting player made a nasty remark about my chasing and immediately called for $200 more chips.  I commented, "yes, I am the only chaser".  He then proceeded to raise every hand I was in.  When I left he was stuck over $100.  Me, down $22, and would have been up $100+ if I had chased two gunshot draws.

Truthfully, all non no limit games are chasing games.  And they are filled with "acemasters" and "flushmasters", those who play any ace and any two suited cards.  Be careful out there kids.  Getting ready to sit in the ultimate chase game, 4/8 Omaha high low limit.  Always a crowd, always draws against you.

I've been playing a lot more 3-6 limit lately because I'm just sick and tired of the chasing in the 3-20 game which takes more of my money. I will chase for cheap thank you and I understand that there's lots of that chasing going on. The only 3-6 game that I know of is at Jokers on Fridays and Saturdays from 12-3. Therefore, I usually only play once a week and there's a time limit. This is a good thing.

Good luck in that Omaha game!
