Villain 1 UTG+1 (700) raises to 7. Hero has observed that this sizing is weighted towards his medium strength hands and is likely to fold to a 3-bet.

Observed to be a very good player for 1/2, bought in for the max (400). Called Hero down light before and was good. Hero in the BB (600) makes it 30 with A4s. Villain 1 folds, Villain 2 calls.
