Friday night game, just sat down 20 minutes ago. Hero picked up a pot or two raising in position a couple of times. Once was a BTN 3bet in a straddled pot, the other was an open raise on the BTN over two limpers in a straddled pot. No showdowns thus far.
V ($380) Middle-aged white guy. No history, haven't seen him play. First hand I sat down and watched was V (I think open raising to $15), 3 callers, a squeeze from a bigger stack to $80, a $150 AI by V, and a call by the big stack. V showed J9o and big stack had A3 suited. A high won and V reloaded for $300. Not quite sure how V got to $380 but I believe he had me slightly covered.
Hero ($360)

Hero bets $20, V raises to $60 pretty quickly. Hero?
