Weeknight 9pm. There were 3 or 4 guys at the table who were in town for a conference. They were all drinking and generally having a good time. There was one in particular that I definitely wanted to play hands against...I saw him limp/call pre and then c/c 3 streets with JT on an AJxxx board. I also saw him check pre from the BB and c/c 3 streets with AK on a Kxxxx board. Unfortunately he is not the V in this hand.
H is 30yo WG, been at the table a few hours playing fairly tight and not winning any significant hands. $300 stack.
V is early 20s WG wearing sunglasses and a hoodie. Seems like a reg. He's been chatting up the guys from the conference and has run his stack up to $1300 in about 3 hours. I should have been paying more attention to the hands that he won, but only one comes to mind. MP opened to $12, V called on the BTN, both blinds called. Flop came KhQc9c. Blinds check, MP cbet $20, V called. Turn 5c. MP led $25, V made it $60. MP called. River was a blank and went check, check. V won with 6s6d.

H makes it $18 with A

Folds to V in SB who 3b to $52. Limpers fold
H calls.
I opened to $18 in a similar situation a few orbits earlier and everyone folded. I hadn't been 3b in the 3 hours I'd been at the table and I don't recall having seen V 3b anyone either. I considered flatting, raising small to ~$110 to set up PSB shove OTF, or 4b shoving.
