should I have folded?

Paul3221

I'm thinking now that I should have folded. At the time, I was thinking "there are only two cards that can beat me, and even then, they had to have them suited". Up to this point, the table was pretty loose, with a lot of bluffing. I figured this guy maybe hit the straight or something. Flame away....

Other than maybe going stronger after the flop, I don't think you played the hand wrong at all. Up until the all in at the river...small bell would have gone off, thinking he had a higher diamond. But your read on the table sounds justified, and given how loose it was up until then, I would have made the call on the river as well.

So, I would have been right beside you on the losing end of the hand.

Personally, I would have folded because the bets and checks were mirroring the diamonds suit - when the 9 hearts turn card came up, everyone checked.

Just knowing that the King & Queen of diamonds were out there and that Chase bet heavy with Shaman calling, I would have let the hand go.

I'm a tight player in No-Limit Hold-Em.

If it was a tournament etc. I might play differently. It all hinges on your perception of Chase & Shaman as poker players.
