with alot of his friends, the people he plays home games with, and the people
that were at the so called cheating session. There is alot more to the story
that most people know.
He is a true gambler in every sense of the word. Fun to gamble with, fun to
hang out with, and once you get to know him, an all around nice guy.
The best hand was in the 10 25 PL Hold Em game. Him and another pretty solid
player see the flop. Flop is JJ9. Keith bets out the pot. The other player
raises. Keith thinking that the guy wouldn't raise that early with a Jack,
goes all in. The guy calls. Keith's raise was about $2,000.
They turn up the hands. Keith has A7 off suit and the other guy has AJ. Turn
and river come and Keith wins !! Was the funniest shit I've seen in a while !!
Anyway, some good fun games in Tunica. Good time, nice people. The funnest
group was the guys that play in the home games daily in the Texas area. I can
only imagine how good those games are.

employee who represented the BIGGEST crooks in America. Somehow I still
think the guy is ok, even if he's a little ignorant about what his
employers do. You got the personality, I wonder what he got? Anyway, hope
you hit Platnium and I hope you're running good. See you soon pal.

When Party Poker started I don't think anyone knew how big they would really
get. It hit them like a ton of bricks. Mike was the savior for them in terms
of having someone on the poker end to translate what everything meant. Mike
worked hard for them, did alot of traveling for them, and had alot to do with
their early success. I think he was more frustrated than you and I in the
early stages when the site would die or they would have major problems. He was
also frustrated because he would provide them huge lists of fixes, prioritized
based on what us as customers wanted and/or needed, but things took years to
fix.
I look at it now as they have lost their connection to the people in poker that
have the most information, including my brother. They are just a huge
corporation that does as little as they can now because that is all they have
to do to bring in their millions. It's kinda sad actually, because they are
and probably always will be the biggest online poker site in the world.
But to bash Mike like that isn't fair. I honestly deep down, don't think that
you hate Mike as much as you say. I think you have more sense than that.
Mike is proud of what he did for Party Poker and has moved onto other things.
I'm sure you will see him in the poker world for many many years.
Thanks for the good wishes. Thought I'd see you in Tunica but missed ya.
Maybe on the next road trip somewhere.
Good luck.

I do not run in this world, but it is always interesting. Please explain
how Keith won the pot with A7 against AJ with a flop of JJ9? Did he make
the flush? Card card straight? That would have made your story more
interesting.
Also, what is the "more to the story" about the "so-called cheating session"
that might cast a better light on the situation. I presume you are talking
about the Hollywood story. Any additional information might be interesting.

Keith Lehr was caught holdding out two times at the Hollywood Casino in
Louisiana. The first time the card was found on his seat after after they
looked. The second time he was caught on VIDEO switching cards, but getting
beat on the river with a last card flush.
Keith Lehr is a holdout cheat, no wonder he can give so much action, he's
playing more cards than you are. You can find Keith playing at Jack Binion's
joint in Tunica. Word is he can play cash games but not tournaments. He is
currently barred for life from the Hollywood for cheating, though you'll get no
response.
Keith Lehr can also be found playing on Party Poker sit and goes, 100-200 range
playing under the name of LehrJet.

Keith and the other players in the game had been out partying ... drinking a
lot ... and keith got involved in a pot with a long-time buddy ... as in
grade school long time. They would give each other their whole stack if the
other needed it.
Keith saw a card discarded that would help his hand and picked it up on a
lark. His actions were caught on camera, the discarding player complained
and the Louisiana State Police (who supervise La. casinos) insisted that
Keith be banned from the Hollywood. Any and all of the players in the game
would welcome keith back to the Hollywood Pot Limit game.

He was sitting next to another guy who was still in the hand. That guy was
folding and he jokingly took that guys hand, held all 4 cards over the table,
took one of the cards from the other guy, then shoved in his stack with those
cards.
Glynn, the other guy involved who is also a friend of Keith's called, and Glynn
won the pot. It was after the fact when the other guy told Glynn what he did,
that the casino looked into it and saw what he did in clear view of the table.
Yes, being drunk and high as a kite had something to do with it.
The whole story, start to finish, with past relationships, incidents, etc was
related to me by more than 4 people that were there and that play in the game
on a daily basis.

I do not play in that game. I do play at lesser games right next to that
game. I do not know that "all" of the players that play in that game agree
with you or not. I will ask those that are there the next time I am there.
I do not doubt that this is the story "as related" to you. I have heard
different stories. If everyone at the table thought it was a joke and were
laughing, I seriously doubt that there would have been any actionable
result. You even say that the "discarding player" complained. That does
not sound like the players were "all" happy with the situation.
Like I say, I have "heard" different stories. Like all hearsay, these
stories have varying degrees of truth and drama built into them. I do not
like stories that involve people holding out cards during a poker game ...
that they are drunk does not in any way mitigate their actions.

and know most of the parties involved. I wasn't there ... my info came from
regular players in the game ... who weren't present at the time, either.
Glynn is the close friend of Keith's I was referring to. I really can't
characterize the reactions of the various participants at the table at the
time but have heard noone at the game speak in a derogatory manner about
keith.

I have "watched" the game many times. A 25/50 pot limit game is over my
personal comfort level. I wonder why this incident "got out of hand?" Was
Keith a winning player? Did he play often? Was the incident minor or are
"friends" just being "friends?" I guess since I do not know anyone who was
actually there (and it really does not matter that much), I am left with a
confused story.
