a few hands I'm not proud of

This villian is 45/23, overly loose and overly aggressive. I just felt a bluff, really the only reason I called.

its 22... I feel silly doing this against a villain w/ 88.

play it for set value. play more solid/disciplined.

I really think he's got something like 9T. He figures the only way he is going to get value is by doing something zany like this...looks like it worked.
