Full House
Game: weekly $0.25/$0.50 NLHE cash game, $20 max buy-in.
Characters:
Hero ($360, MP): Strong loose/aggressive image among all players, over a long term (months with some, over a year with others). Straddles every UTG hand. This is Hero's last orbit of the night, announced a few hands ago.
Carlos ($300, BTN): Somewhat loose/aggressive in early rounds but tends not to waste a lot of money when it matters, plays position well, definitely targeting Hero tonight. Plays often, likes to gamble, and seems to play in bigger games than this one.
Old Man Oliver ($40, SB): Plays somewhat loose/passive preflop, generally has strong holdings if he gets aggressive. Can be very sticky once he's invested in a pot but makes surprising folds other times. Gets out of line once in a while post-flop.
The Host ($20, BB): On monkey-tilt tonight, burning through $20 rebuys like crazy, has shoved with air preflop multiple times in past several orbits, in for at least $300. A reasonably decent TAG on most nights, but not tonight.
The Lady ($200, UTG): Has a generally leaky game. Calls too many raises and reraises preflop and out of position, has physical tells, fears monsters under the bed too much. Does well against some players in the game but not others.
Important note: We have a side bet in this game: a dish gets passed around as the "button," and the button player has to put $1 in it. (We have one player who opts out, but he has left.) If the button wins the hand, he wins the money in the dish. If not, it gets passed along. There is $19 in it right now, which is about as big as it gets. Carlos very frequently goes out of his way to try to win the hand on his button to win the dish, especially if there's a lot in it. He sometimes makes disproportionately large preflop raises when that is the case (e.g., $8, $12).
