Royal Flush
PREVIOUS HISTORY OF HERO: Hero has shown himself to be playing a TAG style, having lost the minimum very recently with against on a board of ........ when Hero bet 2200 on the river and was raised by Villain to 5500 and just called.
CAST OF CHARACTERS: UTG (Mr Tree) and UTG+1 (Shleepytime) have folded.
To Hero's immediate left is a local named Jamie who is aggressive and playing well, not necessarily tight, but not overly loose. He's willing to call raises in position with a wide range of hands while the blinds are low in an effort to chip up. He's also willing to raise in late position to punish limpers.
Next up is K9dr who is also aggressive and wily although he hasn't gotten out of line and seems to just be feeling the table out and playing more cautious than I'm used to seeing from him.
After him is a local named Steven who had made the straight flush against hero's Ace-high flush, he likes to call raises with position and seems to be a bit more loose in his calling ranges.
After him is Phil Lafond who is playing TAG.
I don't recall the player to Phil's left
In the SB is is local Dawn, she's chatty and playing very tight, rarely calls raises and when she opens she's usually got a solid hand.
I'm blanking on the name of the next player seated in the BB, but he's a PCF'er that I can picture and if I recall correctly had just made a crack at my expense.
All told, the game is still early and everyone is still deep.
PRE-FLOP ACTION: Blinds are 300/600 and Hero is sitting on roughly 32 bigs with a stack of 19,000 from his starting 25K. Folds to Hero sitting UTG+2. Blinds are 300/600 and Hero looks down at Hero recently lost with his Ace-high flush against the gutshot rivered straight flush and the BB just made a joke at Hero's expense.
Hero .....?????
