1/2 Unraked Home Game. Six handed. Standard open is 10. 3bet is 3x.
V (1,200) is a maniac who just earned plus $200,000 surveying a property in a desirable neighborhood. When I played tournaments with him twenty years ago, he won by barreling and rebuying. Now, he has a higher income and plays cash the same. This losing strategy cost him $3,000 by the end of the night.
V is playing more than half his hands, mostly open-raising or 3betting. Tonight, in a previous hand, V opened to 10, H 3bet to 30 with AhKd, V 4bets to 90, H 5bet all to 240, V called with As7s. V is nonetheless excellent at math. He is 3betting his too many bluffs exactly 3x, maybe once 3.5x. He has not yet 3bet 5x.
Hero (345) has a tight-passive image to V, who wants to gamble.
