Some Hands
Here are a few hands from my last several sessions. Thought processes in the spoiler tags.

Hand 2
V1 (120) - 65 yo Asian male - loose/passive. Has been limp/calling a lot preflop, calling down with any piece of the flop. Will get away from more marginal holdings on later streets. Will chase draws to the end.
V2 (500) - 27 yo white male, ABC-TAG. Hasn't played a ton of hands so far but I'm fairly new to the table. Hasn't been attacking many flops in the pots he has played. Doesn't come off as terribly aggressive.
Hero's Image (340) - 25 yo white male - Don't have much of an image yet but I've been at the table for about 30 minutes and haven't really played any big pots, so if anything it's tight.

Hero is in MP with K

River ($315): 2
Hero bets $190 and is all-in,
Villain folds.
Hand 3
Villain (400) - 45 yo Asian male - loose/passive regular in the room, though he is a bit less passive than other regulars. He will limp/call often preflop but also take stabs at pots and try to steal when scare cards come out, occasionally. He also can be a bit of a call station but sometimes will play a bit more snug.
Hero's Image (600) - 25 yo white male - TAG winning regular. Villain probably thinks I'm more aggro than I actually am and that I'm FOS more often than I actually am. He has shown a tendency to get stationy against me in the past.

Hand 4
V1 (250) - 50 yo white male, loose/passive preflop and ABC postflop
V2 (300) - 40 yo white male, loose passive - hasn't been at table very long so no real reads
V3 (400) - 30 yo black male - bad LAG, not a total spewtard or anything but plays too many hands and will take stabs at pots, bluff at scare cards, etc.
Hero's Image (650) - TAG winning regular
Preflop ($4) Hero is in BB with 9
7

Hand 5
V1 (70) - 30 yo white male, very loose/passive preflop. I think I've seen him limp every hand so far.
V2 (150) - 60 yo Indian male, loose/passive. Will chase draws to river and call down with top pair, sometimes second pair type hands. Haven't been sitting with him very long though.
Hero's Image (300) - 25 yo white male - pretty clean slate as I haven't been at the table long and have yet to open a pot.

Hoping this weather doesn't hurt the games too badly tomorrow, as I'm itching to get back out there. Might end up going to Parx if the roads are still in bad shape - if 2/5 looks soft I might give it a shot.
