Hating life with TPTK
2/5 NLHE 8 handed.
Table is unusually short stacked and a lot of 1/3 players are trying their luck.
V1 - Loose passive player playing up from 1/3. 500$. BB.
V2 - TAG/LAG winning player. Plays as high as 10/20 live. I've seen his graph and he's crushing 1/3. Not sure about 2/5 but at this table he's probably the best player. He knows all the usual strategy and can bluff, read the board, x/r light etc etc. That said, he levels himself. He comes down from 10/20 and talks about how "I unblock the 2nd nuts so I have to raise/fold!" as some guy does something he deems stupid when no one is really thinking on that level. CO. Covers.
H - V2 has called me somewhat tight but not overly so. We don't have a lot of hours together. 830$. HJ.

Hero? What are you doing if he jams here? What are you doing if river were a brick like a 4♦ and V2 jammed?
