leo casino 23rd july

[deamon44]

be shorter than usual because my mind was mainly dominated by the cheating going on! check that out in the other leos post.
goin to talk about the 3 or 4 important hands.
i had limped in with 99 early on with alad of otehr limpers floped a set an other guy top pair, so practicly doubled up off him. then with a decent stack i limped utg with for 200, limp, limp, from two guys in late position then the bb whos the only other big stack raises to 800. ive been watching him and he likes to deend his blinds and likes punishing the limpers. so i think he could be raisien with anythen but even if it is a big ace its not a big pair so i can win this pot, so i call, then the 2 idiots also call. limp call utg has to set alarm bells from a tight player aswel but no, they just call anyway, flop comes 1st guy cheks, i duno what to do now with the 2 idiots so just chek, next guy chek, last guy bets 500. i cant fold 500 after callin 800 plus a 6 for a sraight and a 7 or 8 is probaley good if i hit. every1 calls the 500 and turn is every1 cheks. river 1st guy cheks, i bet here 1100. i bet for a few reasons
1. its likely its the best hand and i get paid off by a5,a4
2. no1 has a ten because you cant chek a ten on that board
3. i realy, realy dont want to have to show this 78, limp call utg 800 chips, its ridiculous realy and would smash my table image, not that many people are paying much attention anyway.
anyway they all fold and i took a substantial pot.
i played my game, i was comftable had chips and whenever i was in a pot it went the way i wanted it to go. i controlled the pots and bets and if i was in the pot no1 did anythen i didnt want them to do.
new guy gets moved on to the table, a regular who i know, knows how to play poker, but he knows how to play poker agaisnt the usualy loose mockery of play in leos,which im sure hes gud at. but he doesnt no how to play against me.
blinds wer 800 i think and i was in the small blind and he raised to 2600 i had i was thinking of a reraise but what stopped me was teh massive stack on my left who i just wanted to avoid realy. so i flat called and the big stak also called. flop come every1 cheks next card chek chek and the guy who raised bet 2600, the turn card didnt change anythen for me so am beat by the king or 9, surely he would of bet a king or 9 so i call, river is .
i bet here 4200

1. the card puts out the sraight and flush draws. me flat calling on turn makes it look like i have flush or straight draw in which case this would of gave it 2 me. so if he does have a king he still should fold. he defo cant call with a 9 here, if he cals with a 9 then thats a bad call.

2. its a stoppa bet. if he does have a king he cant reraise me with all them draws, am confident im ahed unless hes got luky an hit a jak on teh river, but this bet stops him putting out a big bet of say 7/8k were i would probaley have to lay down. this stoppa bet takes away his bluff and means i avoid a tuff decsion.

3. he can only re-raise me with a flush or straight so if he re-raises i fold easily but save at least 3/4k from the bet he would of made had i just cheked, as said earlier i avoid a tuff decision.

now the guy just folded and in fact probaley had nothen. but this was just an example of wer i thought i ws playing well, just took my time and disected the hand b4 making a decision.
a mistake ive made at the casino previously , feeling pressured into making a decision, so here i just took as much time as ineeded and felt muchmore relaxed and comftable.

i told him i had a king after the hand just so he didnt think i was a fish and getting luky on ther irver

guy limps utg for 800 i think. im in the sb holding and raise to 3k the bb who is the big stack says '3k is that it and folds' so the limper throws 3k in and turns his cards thinking i was all in, quite the opposite i have him covered by 5/6k an he has 8k behind. ruling is he cant bet so its all up to me
flop- i chek, may aswel see if an ace or 9 comes turn- river is a blank, i know im ahead give a quick glance at his chips then push all in.
he calls .... i assume he was thinkg im only beat by the king and i was probabley tryen to be a smart arse cause how much of a dick would he look if i showed him a bluff. but still hes gota fold.

soon i get moved to a new table last 16 players guy raises with i call in position with flop comes he cheks to me and i bet 9k obviously thinkg im ahed but he reraises all in for another 11k, priced in i have to call and i river the flush.
i made the bet 9k which was a bit higher than the standard raise because i wanted to force myself to make the call if he did reraise, if i bet 4k here am forced to fold to the reraise. so i eyed up his stak and committed myself giving myself an easier decison.
if he hadnt slow played he wins this pot, he pushes all in on flop then i have to fold, if he bets standard i flat call miss on turn then he pushes an i have to fold, although maybe if he bets standard i think i push over the top, he would of have to bet around 10k to stop me reraisen, basicly he had to make a bet that committ himself to the pot.
guy limps in utg with i have in the bb. this guy has been on my table a long time, hes also bin in my poket the whole time, ive been tormenting him but his stak was that big hes still got a decent amount of chips. i chek the bb flop comes i chek an he bets the min 2k i reraise to 6k, well aware ive reraised him like 3 times b4. he calls, BOOM! HES ON THE HOOK, i know ive got him, turn comes great card and dispelles the worry of the flush, rag ace i rekon, i fire out 11k forcing him to go all in for his 13k which he obliges to do with his 2d pair, ad final table here i come.

so final table, basicly i was chip leader, just, stole a few blinds took a few pots nofen major, but when we were down to last 6/7 players nothen was happenin, some1 would have to start pushen the action. i had folded 33,44,55 all on final table 2 were utg and 1 was to a raise b4 me. aware that the 2 lads next to me were cheatin i was aiming to take 1 out the game, so when 1 raised i pushed all in with 66, now although he was a cheatin dirty prik, he knew how to play poker and would lay down aq and below to me, especialy with my table rep, he basicly need tt upwards or ak. he had ak and calls, we take the race i lost, ffs. i was left with 32k from my 99k so just started pushen, i was all in, alot, but no1 called. quikly got my stak up to 76k basicly dubled up without showen a card. forcing the scally lad to fold the best hand twice, he showed me a9 at 1 point sed do you beat that, i jus nodded with my jq and he folded. soon after that we wer 5 handed i was bak in teh game but the cheating was making it difficult and i took the split £235
if the ruling is correct, the cheaters have there chips removed an will be disqualified, then wer 3 handed with1 major short stak i split for 400 or win 550. if i win my race wit the 66 he goes out then his mate hasnt got any free chips, he shortly followd blinded out, same situation were 3 handed wit 1 shrt stak he goes out, only differnce is i dont split..... i just win!
a race was basicly the difference between 235 and 550 quid
