1/3 NLHE 8 handed.
Game has been going awhile, early morning on Tuesday. Hero is tired and been card dead and not much has happened. Been at the table about 6 hours without much going on. Up and down on his original BI for 400. Slightly up right now at 450. Game *was* easy but V just sat down and Hero needs to leave.
V - Goes by the nickname big papa. Fat Hawaiian guy. Plays 25/50 private, 5/10, 2/5 and rarely comes down to 1/3. He runs his own home games and plays full time. I have almost zero history with him because A. he never comes down to 1/3 and B. If he does he somehow never gets seated at my table. What I do know is that he's a LAG. He is very very much a LAG. Good or bad I don't know but the other guys that play with him at 5/10 say he's an "action player". I know his favourite hand is 42s and he will play this regardless of the action pre. The money at 1/3 is meaningless to him so I don't know how he will adjust/not adjust to our game which will be viewed by him as ridiculously weak. He buys in for 500$ max and has lost one BI to a fish on a heater who called pre with J6s and stacked V when it went AI OTF where V had AJ and the board was A-J-6-6-X. I will note big papa has been playing quieter than I would have expected this session. He's called a bit behind. Unusually passive and seems disinterested. Straddles every chance he gets. I should add..he's not a maniac. He is VPIPing around 20% so far but has only been at the table an hour or so.
Table is all loose passives except for V.
HH: Hero on 330$ stack opens A
