V (covers hero) is 26 years old. He looks like a TAG grinder but has an early-position calling range preflop, mostly calling limps and sometimes calling bets, but generally folding or open-raising. He has 3bet twice in four orbits. Postflop, he showed down a winner once. The other times, he folded or got his opponents to fold.
Hero (315) is TAG.
OTTH
Hero opens to 10 with AdQd in the LJ. V in the HJ reaches for his chips and leans forward, then makes eye contact with the hero staring at him. He pulls back and calls. Everyone else folds.
Flop (20 after rake): 8c8d4d
Hero bets 10. V raises to 30. Hero?
The macho eye stardown is typically someone full of ****. Experienced it first hand a few times. Makes for fun making fun of them afterwards. What were you thinking staring me down? You wouldn't do that outside of here now would you? It's great. I'd call down.
