Interesting Poker Weekend

It was my 3 day stretch to run poker this weekend and it was an interesting one. Friday was a TOC with the winner getting a $250 casino buy-in and when they got heads up nether one wanted the buy-in both just wanted cash. So, I ended up purchasing the buy-in for half price. Hope I end up making money at the casino to show them how it is done. Saturday was just a regular night and it must have been a full moon, because it was crazy poker night. I thought at two different points that I was going to have break up fights and had two people pick up their chips because they didn't want to play anymore. It was because of all the crazy people. Get to final table and I am dealing and the drunk guy that had caused a lot of the problems keeps calling all ins with the worst hand and wins. He gets to heads up and it's loud in the bar because of UFC fight. He can't hear and hardly function and after a long heads up of "it's your turn" he finally loses. Then the grand finale, last night was a TOC type night with extra cash prizes and everyone getting chips stacks based on points accumulated over the past weeks. I started with the minimum chips of 4000. First hand I am BB and have A-J off. My table is full of very poor players and I would normally raise with this hand, but decided to check. Flop is Q-J-10 of diamonds. I have the ace of diamonds. Small blind checks. I bet out 200 and get no one to fold. Turn is an eight of spades. I check. Person on right bets 500 and has a straight, but everyone calls so I do to with my straight and flush draws. River is a small card not a diamond. Person bets out 600 and small blind calls, so I fold. Bettor turns over A-9 with a straight. Small blind turns over A-K and wins after flopping a straight and never once making a bet with it. Very next hand, I am small blind with K-5. Several people limp to me so I call as I know that BB will never raise preflop. Flop is K-3-9. It is checked to my, so I throw out a small 200 bet and get many callers. Turn is another king. A good player bets out 500. I call but now am weary. River is a blank and he checks. I bet out 200 and he reraises to 1100. Why didn't I just check! I call knowing I am probably out kicked. He turns over 99 and wins with a full house. Two hands in and lost over half my stack. I did make a nice comeback, but only lasted a little while longer. When we got down to final table, as I always do we have a redraw for seats. Now this is easily the worst final table that has every been assembled in bar poker. One of the guys, whom I have written about before is in my book a cheater. He draws his card and then right in front of me switches cards with a very nice lady that plays regularly. I look at him and say absolutely not you must move to seat that you have drawn. I say in my book that is cheating and if you ever do that again I will take both players chips away and you will be out of tournament. The nice lady is now mad because I called her a cheater and after she is knocked out pulls me aside and is almost crying telling me she would never cheat. So now I am pretty sure that she will never come back and play again. I hope she does, but switching cards in a redraw is never ok. I know it was not her fault, but I felt that a point needed to be made to the cheater guy and to let everyone know not to switch cards when you draw for your seat. I have always felt that bar poker needs to be played by the same rules as in a casino, but am tired of being the bad guy because I enforce the rules. I think I need a vacation!
