Know your Villain...

An interesting situation came up a couple of days ago.

There was a villain who seemed to be targeting me on numerous tables. He is a losing reg that I have encountered before but he moves up and down the leagues.

Anyway, he was at NL50 on this day and so was I and he seemed to be playing every pot that I was and he is only a 13/10 so its hard to be in all the same pots as another nit.

He was making lots of moves on me pretty aggressively and I felt like he was just f***ing with me. I folded to his aggression a few times but then I took a stand and his holding is pretty lol. I will be playing back a lot more at him and calling him down light too.

While the hand is not that interesting the build up was:
