It's IPO time again

I'm playing the IPO in the Regency Hotel this week and I'm really looking forward to it. I had a nice deep run in the Summer Deepstack but the IPO is a different story with up to 1000 players.
The IPO is great , it gives the pub player that chance to play a big tournament for a buy in of €230 .

The game in the Manor Inn is going well and the dealers are a great improvement and the no limit cash game is played in great sprit and the rake of 5% capped at €5 is the best around . It's a bit disappointing that the numbers have not improved to what I would like but we will keep plugging away.
One reason the numbers are not growing is the amount of poker that can be played in the Swords area , there is poker in the Orchard bluff card club the penthouse casino and in the Westbury in Malahide, the great thing is that there is a wide choice for the players in Swords.

Now onto the Poker and the standard of play !!! OMG & LMFAO ( as my 13 year old says)
I'm so good I can get players to put there chips in the middle & calling me down with NOTHING!!.
Two recent hands come to mind , I was in the big blind of 400 when I call a min raise from the hijack , knowing this guy like his Ace with anything that's what I put him on so when the flop is 10 2 6 rainbow I'm holding 8♦️ 10♦️ I feel I'm way ahead of his range.
He bets out 1000 and I re-raise  to 3000 he calls the turn brings the Ace he checks I check the river brings another A he checks and I turn over my hand and he turns over A 7 os and asks why I didn't bet after the re-raise that he thought he would trap me??? He couldn't understand why I got thick asking how he could call the re-raise after the flop with nothing and the gets lucky and thinks he made a great play on the flop !!!
The best is still to come, after dumping a couple of premium hands after the flop I decided to punish the limpers with the blinds at 100/200 and 5 limpers I have A♥️9♥️ In the big blind so I raise to 1000 to take the blinds with what I feel is the best hand out there  but I get two callers the flop is 9♣️5♣️7♦️ The small blind leads out 2000 so I think he has a flush draw or he hit top pair and he has me on a big Ace so I decide the worst case is he has a draw so I shove all in ( not the best play but I feel I'm ahead) to put maximum pressure to call all his chips on a flush draw, he thinks a little and the says to the dealer " call give me a 6 " HE HAS 8♥️4♣️ , OMG!!! He doesn't get his 6 no, he hits ♣️♣️ For a flush 🙀 . That's the worst call I have ever seen in all the years I have played poker.
"But all you had was a 9 he says ! " but you called 90% of you stack with a 8 high gut shot DONKEY. Forgetting he called the original 1000 raise with his 8 4 os, another DONKEY play gets rewarded . Ok rant over I'm off to the Orchard tonight to win the cash to pay for my IPO ticket and hopefully we will see a few more players in the Manor inn on Wednesday.
