Huge D-bag move (and a few other stories)

Ok, so the basic story is my gf went away for a week, so i went on a 1/2NL bender. I played 5 nights out of 7 and ended up $450. This story takes place on my very last session.

So a buddy and I head for the 3rd time to this fairly new casino called Starlight. It is an 8 table (I think) in a corner of the floor. Nothing special. Except I have seen some pretty bad "regulars" and a general LAGgy style thatI can play very good TAG against.

I get seated first, at a table with a guy I have seen there (but never played with) before. He is a man of about 50 or so, with a dollar store cowboy hat, a red hawaiian shirt, covered by a brown vest, and some nice mirrored sunglasses. He introduces himself as "Mike" to players he beats out of pots, and keeps saying how he's here to have fun. (the whole schtick smells of an act to me...) So anyways, he is in seat 10. seats 8 and 10 (mike) have been playing around back and forth a few times over the last hour or so, with poor seat 9 getting sandwiched to no end. This hand, I am UTG in seat 7, 8 folds, 9 raises to 15(standard for this table/casino), 10 calls, and 2 calls, everyone else folds.
I don't remember the flop because of what happened (i'm pretty sure it was a king and two rags). seat 9 (sandwichman) bets out ~35, seat 9 (mike) calls, seat 2 raises allin (~200). 9 is thinking, and while he is, mike counts out not just a call, but tries to match 9's stack who hasn't acted yet. 10 puts his stack right on the very tip of the betting line, I mean right on the edge. He smiles, and does the worst thing I've seen in a while. He slides his stack over, right next to 9's and levels his off to 9's height. They were side by side, possibly even touching. Now I don't like to call angling if I'm not in the hand, but come on! 9 finally looks choked, tosses his cards in the muck (in a bit of a huff), and then get this, 10 insta-folds!! WTF?? He just did that to be a giant d---. 9 says something to the effect of "oh it's like that, is it?" and puts in his headphones. Dealer finally chirps in and tells mike to slow down on the angle shooting. Mike gets mad and requests a table change.

Sorry for the rant, but I just had to post this, completely out of line IMO.

I will post a few more stories later in the thread.

Thanks for reading.

People who are strong do not do that. Sure he's being a d-bag but that tell is pretty bad! SHOVE.

You forgot about seat 2 who raised allin after a bet and a call. At a loose table, that screams "one of you call me!!!" to me.

Story # 2:

different day, different players. Seat 9 is very LAG, reraising lots, opening to 15 lots etc. Seat 3 is very TAG, only showing down good hands (like the str8 that beat my 2 pair a half hour earlier)

Both players have at least $400.

9 raises to his usual 15, everyone but seat 3 folds, who reraises to 50. 9 calls.

flop:

3 acts first and bets 60. seat 9 calls.

turn:

:

3 checks, 9 bets 100, 3 calls.

river:

:

3 checks, 9 goes allin for around 200 or so, 3 thinks for a while and finally calls.

3 shows:

:

:

9 shows:

:

: for the king-flush.

3 says "I played that hand perfectly!" Whole table chuckles, he insists that he played 9's perfect to a four flush, multiple straight draws, as well as 3 overcards.

I shed a tear as he changes tables, wishing that he would play a hand that perfect against me...

ah nothing better than hearing a donk declare "I played that perfectly", I have a few friends who play like that; including one who announced "I never raise with AA pre, that way nobody can put me on it"
