V is a reg, 4 tabling I think. He probably runs a little on the nitty side for a 6m reg. We'd been playing together on a few tables for half an hour and hadn't really gotten into anything. I figured there's a good chance he folds most of his range here but my hand is going to be really hard to play post-flop without better reads.

Call on the flop scared me, so I gave up on the turn.

The button is a reg and the short stack is positionally aware and agro. I nearly timed out preflop. I decided to try to kick the reg out of the pot.
