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 {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} before calling a continuation bet on a {7-Hearts}{4-}{3-Hearts} flop. On the {Q-} turn, de Mel called again, but then turned aggressor by leading for 1,050 upon hitting his flush on the {J-Hearts} 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 {A-}{J-} 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 {K-}{J-}."

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."
