Deeb Making Friends

Freddie Deeb, always on the lookout for a new game.
Freddie Deeb, always on the lookout for a new game.

Freddy Deeb opened for 6,500 and Michael Lipman called. The flop came {K-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {4-Hearts}, Deeb casually tossed out 5,000 and Lipman folded.

Deeb and Lipman had been having a casual conversation before the hand and after the hand the subject changed to where Lipman usually plays poker.

Lipman said he splits time between Costa Rica and the Southern Florida games. Deeb asked if Lipman had any private games he played in so maybe he could give him a call next time he's down there.

Lipman obliged and formally introduced himself and Deeb said, "I'm Freddy Deeb..."

And before he could finish Lipman said, "I know who you are."

"Oh really? How do you know?" he said jokingly.
