another qasim story:
we're playing an 80 game at the borg and i open JJ in EMP, future 3bs me (paul valente for those unfamiliar with his real name), and qasim cold mother f***ing caps from the button. blinds fold i call, future calls, and we're off
something like T72cc comes off (i have the jc) and i k/r qasim's bet, future thinks for a minute and calls (to me looked like he was pondering a 3b but i could be wrong). i cap and they both call.
turn is an offsuit 6. i bet, now future springs to life and raises and qasim 3bets. now i'm thinking "this is one of those get to showdown hands, but i don't see what i can possibly beat. the only possibility is if they both have a ten, which means one had to 3b and one had to cold cap my ep raise - they're both thinking players - with a ten in their hand." so, ofc, i folded like a cheap suit. i put future on something like an overpair or maybe TT or 77 and qasim maybe on an overpair too (NOTE this was AFTER a long stretch of "silent qasim" so he this was the first hand after a long period of 9% VPIP).
river comes an offsuit 5. the future of poker checks and calls to see qasim's killer 4c3c for the rivered straight. i was quite dumbfounded lol.
that's the thing about qasim. he may do crazy things and he may play loose preflop, but he does know his customers pretty well and he recognizes where he is postflop. he thought future could have had a draw and was certain i had an overpair and if he could knock me out, he might clear up 6 outs, which is indeed what happened. i don't remember what future had but i think maybe ATs? i do know had i called and had nothing hit qasim, i'd have won the pot.
i'll put up some other fun stuff if i can recall. jlot played a bunch w/ him too though i'm not sure how well the scotch goggles remember things lol

It was probably AcTc, just because that's how ZZ runs.
