Maybe that he's a little impatient, not frightened to risk money. Maybe a little tilted/spewy? It also tells me he likes big pots. In my experience players who like big pots try much harder to win them.
Do you know someone who regularly straddles to $10?
If you don't, think of a non poker friend who has that laggy, loose cannon personality who would straddle to $10 if the did play poker.
Right, now picture that person in V's seat in this hand, taking this line, and range them.

I played last night with a guy who straddled UTG every chance he had, raised like 50% of his range to $15, 25% to $25, and limp/called the rest.
When I first sat down, I saw a hand where he check-raised and then shipped turn on a K-high board, and was called by AK. Mr See-every-flop had a set and won. The guy with AK said, "I'm never folding that, not to him." I assumed see-every-flop was really bluffy...
As I sat there longer, I realized that see-every-flop was a terribad loose passive fish, and I wouldn't even call a minraise from him with tptk.
There are a lot of players who like to see flops in bloated pots, players who will straddle all positions.... but not to bluff - instead to gamble and try to hit big.
Do we know that villain in this hand is aggressive and bluffs post just because he straddles a lot pre? I don't think so.
