Default Bellagio 30/60, 42s river bluff

This hand is from about a week ago. I'm at the Bellagio to check up on an investment I made and I decide to play a little 30/60 and drink a few beers. Justin A is with me and is seated directly to my left. I've been playing a few more hands than normal, and playing extra aggressively all night. I'd like to think I was just trying to put myself in a few tougher situations to see if I could play my way through them, though maybe I was just lying to myself and I was just blowing off a little steam. Either way, my image is laggy as all get-out and I'm doing other non +EV activities while playing, including discussing the occassional hand with Justin, telling people I play for a living, and generally not paying too-close of attention to the game.

On to the hand.

EMP and hijack limp. I limp in the CO with 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Justin been known to play a little tight in this 30 game, and he folds on the button as planned. SB completes, and we are 5 to the flop.

Checks around to me. I bet, one of the first three guys call, and the hijack calls.

*The hijack is a middle-aged dude with a beard and baseball cap. I've seen him in the room before, and he comes off as slightly quiet, but pleasant. Although I haven't played with him for too long and haven't seen too much evidence for or against my assessment, my assessment is that he's pretty decent pro or semi-pro. He just had that way of carrying himself where confidence radiated from him without him having to say a word. I would get to know him a little better as the night wore on, and he is definitely the kind of guy I want at my 30 table. I'll sacrifice a little EV for a pleasant atmosphere. Very observant fellow. Anywho...

Turn: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Checked to hijack, he bets, I call, other guy folds.

Bet, I raise.
