Location: Hollywood Casino, Toledo Ohio 
Stakes: $2/5 9-handed table 

Villain 1 UTG (1000) raises to 20, which was standard for the table. This player is a 'hyper LAG'. He's experienced and aggressive but Hero doubts he's ever read a poker book/watched a training video/been active in poker forums. Villain 2 UTG+1 (600) calls. 1-2 reg, late 40s. Hero has played with him but never at 2-5 before. He's limpy-cally preflop and fit or fold but sticky post. Villain 3 OTB (220) calls. He has bought in for the max of $500 twice now but only has $220 remaining after losing a stack, buying back in for 100bb and bleeding off a bunch of chips calling pre and folding to cbets and value owning himself. This player is a retired lawyer around 65. He's an experienced player that plays like an old-school TAG, but is capable of semi-bluffing and bluffing when he senses weakness. Hero in the BB (380) calls the remaining 15 with JsJd.
