Live 30 game at my local card club.

Nice Persian Guy (NPG) in this hand is a typical live player--too loose and passive but played enough hands of holdem to know the basics, perhaps even breakeven.

Way-to-loose Live Regular (WLR) in this hand is the type who cold calls 3bets w 85s pf cuz he plays in the game so much he can make "reads" and "plays" lol. He plays "pro" but I think he flirts with being broke on a daily basis.

I probably have an abc tight image, particularly since NPG thinks I'll softplay him and WLR thinks he's trained me into playing straightforward against him.

9-handed: I limp J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] utg, WLR limps behind me, 1-2 more callers, NPG completes from SB and BB raps.

Checked to me, I bet, WLR calls, and NPG calls.

I bet, WLR raises, NPG calls 2 cold, I 3-bet...
