----------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't want any flush chasers, so obviously put a big bet out there. Guy reraises me all in, next guy calls that, SO I reraise all in hoping it'd put enough pressure to get him the heck out of the pot (I mean, he didn't even have the King for the nut flush draw, someone with a king had him beat). I don't even understand the other guys all in, high pair on the board and "decent" kicker......Of course, not 1, but 2 more diamonds come, and this idiot chaser wins. All he can say afterwards is "I had to try"..../sigh. Least it wasn't a big buy in game, but geez, what an idiot.

Oh, and I know I didn't have the highest set out there...but I read these guys right, knew one was on the flush draw, other had either top pair or 2 pair, so I knew I had them beat at that point.
