Hero is 2/5 rec player taking a 5/10 shot (have taken a few before with some success) on a sat night.
Have doubled up to 2k when I get moved to the main game (top game still running at casino). I am an obvious new face to the game, most of the other players seem familiar with each other and have pretty huge stacks.
This is second hand after I sat down so no great reads other than villain had a ton of chips and had been there a while. I felt I played this hand pretty differently because it was 5/10 vs 2/5 and am wondering about different approaches I could have/should have taken.
