Default Trapped

10/20 with 1/3 ante/bring-in.

Say the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] brings it in, the K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] limps, the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] limps, and you complete the bet to ten with (J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img])J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. It's folded to the king who now raises. The spades are live except for your J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] You think about just folding there because you think he has kings and you have no overcard kicker, but then the 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] calls the raise. Now you are getting better than 6:1. So you call.

You catch the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] for a 3-straight to go with your pair, the King catches are off-suit 5, and the 3 catches some garbage non-diamond. The King bets and the 3 calls. Now you are getting better than 9:1. So you call.

On fifth street the boards are

(xx) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
(xx) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
(J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]) J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

The King bets, the 3 now folds. You are now getting 6:1 on a call. Seems like we need to see the river to try and hit two pair. Would you ever fold here if you cards were dying and you didn't have an overcard (the ace)?

Does it feel like we got trapped here? I hate chasing in this game. I like to go in with the best hand and try to prevent chasers from sucking out on me.
