6-handed live 2-5-10 game. game is normally 2-5, but we all agreed to straddle each hand.

table has begun playing kind of passive, with many, many pots being limped in by the whole table. if someone opens small everyone is calling.

no prior experience with any of the players, so no former image. but my image so far is likely very tight, and likely very passive-weak. this is mostly due to a combination of how the game was playing, and the fact i was pretty card dead and situation dead.

haven't been picked off, nor gotten out of line and had it be obvious. image alone was letting me chip up. i.e. someone opens to 3xBB, someone puts in a raise from button, i 3-bet big from the blinds with 3-6s and everyone folds, button showing JJ. they all think i squeak.

anyway, on to hand.

villain is who i consider to be the only very-solid and great player in game. apparently crushes is regularly from what i have heard. he covers.

villain straddles to 10. i am BB. button or sb limps (doesnt matter), and i call.

villain says raise from straddle, i ask him to be humble, and he somewhat complies and makes it 50 straight. folds to me and i call 40 more.
