I'm normally a 1/2 or 1/3 player, but every couple of weeks I take shots at 2/5 and never seem to have the best luck because It always seems to end with a cooler. Hero has been at the table about 2 hours and have only gotten involved in less than 5 hands so it may seem like I'm playing pretty tight.
Hero has $650 effective. Villain covers with about $1.5k. I have absolutely no knowledge about Villains play because I'm a 1/2 regular. He has won every hand without showdown except 1 hand against Hero were he had AK and hit a K on the turn and value bet hero on the river who had QQ on a J-10-x-K-x board.
