<font color="blue">As I played through this hand I realized it was little more than a big math puzzle. I thought uNL might get some benefits out of seeing it.
Villain is a bit on the loose side: he runs 77/5/1.2 over about 100 hands. His bets usually mean he's got a hand, but they do NOT indicate a monster. Think of his bets as meaning "I have at least a pair."
In case you haven't seen these before, I'm sitting at one of Full Tilt's Cap NL tables. That means that the betting is always capped at 30 BBs -- in other words, any stack bigger than 30 BBs is considered to be only 30 for any given hand. In other words, ignore the stack sizes -- everybody at the table has $30.</font>
