We do have a read, that he's not done anything stupid in the ten hands we've seen. Donks can't usually hold out this long without some form of spew.
    I second that. Underestimating your opponent, in poker as in everything else, is a mistake. My "standard unknown" at 5NL is pretty TAGG until proven otherwise. However, it doesn't take much to have an idea, like the villain in the OP who is not full stacked and raised 3xbb in EP behind a limper, these are the first hints that he is probably not all that good. I am defo not folding my set here.

    Some mod please strike this guy who has 81 perfectly useless one line posts to his count, stating the obvious or repeating what other posters in the thread already said.
