For some reason it just came to mind that this is an easier fold to make live than online. I don't really know why I think that though.

Because when playing online, you just have to click a button to "look him up." When playing live, you have to actually put chips into a pot that you are nearly certain you're going to lose.

Stakes and opponent read make the real difference here, but against most opponents it's a fold. Most of the two pair hands he might have been frisky with on 5th are now full.

I also think it is more likely someone is making a move online. Maybe its the anonymity as well as just clicking a button...if someone wants to get frisky and get caught with their hand in the cookie jar its easy for them to leave the table, change tables, etc.

Agreed that villain has to be a bit of a nut to call down.
