Good idea chasin a str8 on a paired board w/ a flush draw..

[MVPSPORTS]

Okay... this is part humiliation post, as I KNOW I'm gonna get ripped 12 ways from Sunday for playing it like such a monkey... Also, as a sidenote to me being verbally molested, does anyone call this reraise...?

For the record, I would like to preface this preface by stating that Briachek was distracting me from playing my "A" game (if that actually exists) with IM after IM of unwanted sexual advances... Not sure if that was affecting my concentration, but I'm sure the leg rubbing did...

** Dealing Turn ** As Mecos might say "NIHAH!!!" Even though I'm not sure if I'm still beat to a boat, I decide to go for the old check-raise...

rider22 is all-In [$27.70] At this point, all of those "never chase a straight on a paired board" quotes I'm sure I've read SOMEWHERE started popping into my head... I mean, what the hell are these guys playing with if not the same straight as me or better... So, like a little girl...

Now, at this point, I'm sure you're thinking... Jesus MVP, how do you make ANY money playing like this much of a monkey... ? Good point... Well, anyone curious how I manage to make a couple bucks doing this, check out the completion of this hand by the ubermonkey caller... I have made the text white for those with a weak stomach...

Card1 calls [$23.70].
** Dealing River ** [ 6s ]
Card1 shows [ 7c, Tc ] a straight, six to ten.
rider22 doesn't show [ As, 9s ] three of a kind, nines.
Card1 wins $65.90 from the main pot with a straight, six to ten.
