Villain ($230) is a late 20s reg well-known to Hero at this underground room. He tends to short-stack 30-50bb and play fold/push until he builds up a stack. In this session he had already dropped three $100 buyins in this 1-2 game within 45 minutes, and for one of those hands he was up nearly $200 when he was felted by someone who caught runner-runner straight against him. Given that Villain typically whines and steams when he loses, he was nearly apoplectic for a couple of orbits after that suck-out.
Villain thinks of me as an aggressive nit, and he doesn't normally want to tangle with me--although one of his $100 feltings prior to the above hand is when his QQ lost to my ATs when we got it in PF (yeah, that was a pretty loose 4-bet push by me). I should also note that a couple of weeks ago Villain min-raised me on the river on a paired board after I bet out my rivered flush, and after I tank called he mucked without showing, and mildly berated me for taking so long to call with the flush.
