Villain 1 appears to be a mid 20s asian male, which probably means he's somewhere between 30 and 40. You know, asians being so hard to date.
Anyway, he's been at the table for a couple hours on a 2500 buy in which hasn't really moved. Haven't seen him show down at all but i'm not paying attention to all the hands
Read is he is taking a shot at this level and is playing above his natural limits.
Straddle is also an unknown in a room where i know almost all the regs.
Hero has 1800 in front of him with the BB and is the effective stack.
Villain raises to 60 UTG
folds around to hero who flats with 2

reasons for flatting
A) I am old and I'm drinking coffee and probably not expected to be flatting with this type of hand
B) I believe villain may overplay his hand
C) the straddle is also an unknown and I generally believe that if I haven't seen you at this table before, you probably aren't that good at poker
D) I am stuck 1200 for the session and it's already the middle of the night and tilt is a thing
E) duh, sooted

hero checks, straddle bets 65, villain raises to 275, hero raises to 550, planning on shoving the turn
villain tanks for a long time and I'm thinking, just fold buddy, but eventually calls
turn 7
