10-handed table 

BB (640)- Main villain: A true LAG, 30yo, deep pockets, from a Middle Eastern country, has played much higher stakes in Macau, whose calling/limping/raising ranges are much wider than mine, but has a knack for crushing whales and TAGs alike. His favorite place to be is deepstacked with a suited hand against a straightforward player. He often plays wide, linear ranges, rarely misses value, and picks pretty good spots (and sizings) to bluff. Despite his reputation, he bluffs enough when he is winning. This guy's style is sticky and unorthodox but his strengths usually make up for his many leaks and 'that's not in any poker book' moves. Hero is OTB (covers), a big winner historically, playing a looser style than usual, having shown a few big bluffs already. SB (220) local, a moderate winner very loose pre. CO (250) businessman who plays straightforward fit or fold. HJ, MP, MP, EP, EP, EP all a juicy mix of players looking to hit top pair, who have between 160 and 500 behind 4 limps to Hero on the button, Hero and limps behind with 810o. SB completes, BB raises to 10, 3 folds, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds.
