Table: I've been here for 9 hands.
Mostly semi-bad regs with 2 unknowns.
Upon sitting down I'm told that the 8 seat is sort of crazy able to make big bluffs with weak holdings.
Also that the 9 seat (Villain) limped his btn over 6 players, and when the BB popped it to $22, he raised to $47 and shows A9o when everyone folds.
Hero: I raised my first hand in UTG cBet and no one called. I raised my button that first orbit, and now I'm back UTG.
Bought in for $250, at $290 at the moment.
Villain: Played the hand described above. Raised 3 of the nine hands that I was at the table so far. Normally plays 2/5 (asked the floor about when its starting) but I've never seen him at this casino before. Seems like he has a bit of an ego. (Covers hero.)

I expected V to fire a lot of flops here, with the intention of check calling the flop, betting turn and river for 3 streets of value. But apparently not.
