Here's an example of some of the players you'll find in LA.

Last time I was there, I played at the Bike in their $300-$500 $5/$5 NL game. I built my stack up to $1400 before the following hand took place.

I posted a straddle of $10. 3 people limp, and both blinds call. I wake up with pocket Queens in the straddle. With the pot at $60 preflop, I raised it up $60 more. I get 1 caller. The pot is $180.

Flop is Q, 8, 4, with 2 spades.

I bet $150, and get called. Pot is now $480.

The turn is a 3 of clubs. I tell the guy that I know he's on a flush draw, and he can't call my next bet. I push for $1200, and he calls the $1200 instantly, showing his hand. Q 7 of spades. He missed his spade draw, and I scoop the pot.

He didn't even hesitate calling $1200 to win $1680 on a non-nut flush draw with 1 card to come.


That's just one example of the crazy things I saw people do in the 4 days I played there.
