My only notes on villan is that he defends his bring-ins with a wide range, not that that is useful here.
I felt unsure about my manhood after this fold, but I think it was the right play. How bad is not raising 3rd - I felt like I coulda avoided this confusion by doing that? What about just calling down for metagame reasons as villan is a regular?
