Live late night 2/5 at the Isle in Pompano, FL on a Friday night.
We are 8 handed and the table is actually fairly tight, with the exception of a couple of decent regulars, one whom I have history with (villain in BB).
I am playing tight and very aggressive on the rare occasions I enter pots, if anyone is paying attention. Some are, some aren't.
I am UTG+1 with Q

Folded to me, I raise to $25. My stack is about $700, and the effective stack size is all over the place. Some have $100, others have $1500. The BB has $320. Standard raise at the table is $15-$25. Anything over is rarely getting action, otherwise I always go bigger here. There's a fair amount of limped pots as well.
Folded to BB who calls. I'm surprised he called me. It felt like a loose call, I guess because he knows I'm a decent reg and we generally don't tangle much. He is a quiet, tricky, aggressive Asian opponent who mixes it up well, reads well, and is slightly loose. Nope, this is not the best game in the room, but there's a steaming uber-fish sitting out.
