History: About half an hour after
this hand, to give you an idea of my image and table dynamics, although this one doesn't involve the same villains.
MP is MABG who has a way-too-high VPIP and isn't terribly aggressive, though he has made a few bluffs. Has everyone else in this hand covered.
HJ is late twenties white guy who's the most aggressive player PF at the table (only open-raising, no 3bets) but still limp-calls sometimes. Has a drink in front of him, pretty LAGgy and possibly getting bored. Stack ~$160.
SB is young Asian guy on the short stack who hasn't played many hands. I had one hand against him where he called IP against my 77 and I gave up to a scary board after a small flop bet. Stack ~$80.
Hero is button, mid-thirties WG, TAG-ish image but have taken down a few pots without showdown. Stack ~$220.
Hand:
HJ Mississippi straddles for $5, causing the action to start to his left. CO limps for $5. Hero has A

SB calls $20, MP and HJ call $20, CO folds.
Flop ($87): 5

SB checks. MP checks. HJ leads out for $60, leaving him $80ish behind. Hero has ~$200.
