Filling the Gaps
We've previously reported the predominant reason for Priyan de Mel's ascent, but he recently added a few more tales into the mix.
In one hand, he called a preflop raise with before calling a continuation bet on a flop. On the turn, de Mel called again, but then turned aggressor by leading for 1,050 upon hitting his flush on the river. His opponent moved all in for 1,500, and de Mel snapped him off.
"I think he had a set in the end," mused de Mel, "but I'm surprised he didn't just call on the end and save himself the extra chips."
"There was another hand," he continued, "where I raised to 250 with and another player moved all in for 1,750. 'Do you want a call?' I asked, and he said 'no'. I told him that I'm being genuine and will call if he wants me to, but he asked me to fold, so I did, and he showed ."
I proposed the theory of lying, to which de Mel replied" "Well, I wouldn't mind, because this is poker, but I think the table would hate me for it."
