After a couple months of not playing, I take an invitation to a game. Table is six handed. To my left is LowKey. Never played with him before. Seems pretty tight pre-flop, haven't seen him do anything but check and fold post-flop. Next three players are Hostess, RockStar and Clueless. Hostess is also unknown, seems loose-passive both pre and post-flop. RockStar is a good lag who I've played with for many years, but he wasn't really involved in any of these hands. Neither was Clueless, a terrible station who never has any idea where he is at. To my right is Hippie, a wannabe poker expert and obsessive TV poker fan. He is laggy and seems to understand the math, but has a tendency to get fancy and hope for best case scenarios. I've crushed him in the few times we've played together, and he must have some measure of respect for my game. The table is playing fairly passive, about a third of the pots are limped. I've shown down one hand - limped
