H: MAWG, obv a reg, keeping the chatter going. Friendly loose table, weeknight.
V: YAG, never seen him before, from comments when he arrived he fashions himself as a good player. Bought in for $200 ($400 max) so obv I have a different opinion.
We'd been together about 2.5 hours, he's on my direct left.
V's play history: Limped btn K3o over 1 limper. His only 3bet was a min 3! vs H, his AA vs my QQ, Q on flop, bye Felicia (about $180). He rebought for 200. Defended BB vs BTN open with K8o, TP called 2 streets (river checked through). Opened KK EP and bet all streets in MW pot (HU after turn) on T64T4 runout. He's chipped up nicely to $650, no dramatic showings, the KK was his most significant hand.
Hero's showings: very early in session as pfr I bet/3! a Q87cc flop, folded to shove from Asian woman, topped up. The QQ hand, and MP open T9s, flopped the straight, bet flop, bet/call a shove on turn. Otherwise a fair assortment of iso raises so perhaps a fast image. H covers.
