Seat 1 is the guy who:
---- Called off half his stack of $900 preflop with Q983 ds after I limp-potted when I have AAxx and am never folding post-flop, flops 2 pair and turns a house
----- Check-calls my pot bet on a
flop holding
and then on the
turn which changes relatively nothing with the board texture for anyone calling the flop LEADS into me with a bet that commits him to the pot, when my range is always going to be nutted on that flop and have him killed, gets it in, only goes once and spikes the miracle red Ace river
---- Limp-repotted T862 one-suit to $255 to isolate with his 3rd cuban buddy
----- raised to 75 after straddling and getting multiple callers OOP with Q932 with the ONLY suited cards in his hand being the 32 of diamonds, then CALLED my limp-repot with that hand, putting in 80% of his stack preflop against my KK54, flops a Queen, gets it in and spikes the third Q on the turn
----- called TWO all-ins for $1500 preflop with
, goes once and beats KKxx and AAxx who are both never folding pre
----- on a flop of
he holds
and calls my pot-sized bet when I hold
and of course he rivers the straight while I'm a ridiculous favorite again
---- today he pots OOP into two solid players holding JJT2, then on an AK5 rainbow flop he bets pot, calls my all-in repot when I have AK76 and him crushed, and proceeds to spike his J on the turn AND Q on the river
I mean, look, I get it, sometimes bad play is rewarded. But when it's coupled with:
1. A streak 2 months long non-stop of getting it in as an 80/20 or 70/30 dog and NEVER missing
2. Their opponents having hands they are NEVER folding in all the big pots for stacks
3. Their strange betting lines (leading on the turn committing themselves to the hand when the turn changed nothing from the flop texture, calling 50-80% of their stack preflop with absolute trash hands when their opponents can never fold post-flop given SPR and getting there everytime)
It just adds up too much for me to be coincidence at this point. It's not just me their getting, they're getting a lot of other players. We already know they signal one another to setup raises, since they always rush to grab the 1 and 6 seats so they can trap players between them. So there's no doubt in my mind they'd be fine having the deck setup for them somehow.
How that's happening I don't know, there are no auto-shufflers in this room. It's the smallest and least-trafficked room in the area, so there would certainly be incentive for employees to get an extra cut in this manner.
And these two NEVER play any of the other rooms, only this one particular room, despite there being PLENTY of PLO action daily at the Hard Rock.
Maybe I'm paranoid and completely wrong on this, but I've learned to trust my spidey senses when I play, making hero folds or calls and trusting my instincts. And my instincts here are telling me something is very wrong.
So I'm going to stick with my plan to play on table 2 in the future and avoid these two.
