Start with No. 6 obviously:
We are 5-handed and have been for hours because one whale keeps buying back in at $500 a clip.
Villain is young and Asian. Best way to describe him is a spewy TAG. He's really pretty tight; game is being straddled 4/5 of the time and he's the lone holdout. He had verbalized the obvious: he was only staying because whale was coming back from ATM. He tried to pull off a river-check-raise in a big 4-way pot that checked to the river (3 guys had AK, 1 guy had JT and made a straight on a flush board). He also folds to the straddle the most by far. His view of me is probably bluffy; i've been showing quite a few in the past hour or two.
I straddled and have
1 caller. Villain makes it $30 from BB. When whale was in BB or straddle he had been making it $25-$40 regularly, so the sizing isn't abnormal. Effective stacks ~270 bbs.
I call, 1 fold. HU to flop
Flop ($66ish)
Villain checks, Hero bets $25, villain check-raises to $75, Hero raises to $200, villain instajams for $530ish.
Hero says, "F*#@! OK I call."
Villain says, "I got nothing."
He flips
