TPTK on monotone + friendly advice
1/3 NLHE 8 handed
V - complete unknown to me that sat down 2 orbits ago and has been fairly fishy. Friend sitting next to me asked if I know him and I said no and then friend (who puts in a lot of hours) said this V was a huge whale. Bluffing a lot, calling wide and just happy to put money in...Ive only see him play a couple hands so far where he was loose passive pre and folded post. No showdowns. 250$ LJ.

UTG straddles, MP limps, V limps, H opens CO to 25 with A♠ J♣, only V calls. HU IP H covers.
Flop 55 - J♥ 6♥ 2♥
V leads 25, H calls
Turn 105 - 8♣
V bets 100 leaving 100 and change behind. Hero?

Against this much dead money and this ~smallish effective stack preflop I'm going larger to have an easier stack off postflop.
SPR is 4 and we have TPTK against someone we believe is a bluffy whale. So I feel committed postflop even on this monochrome board (unless another heart peels off). If we're calling the flop it is to setup a turn jam on a safe card, imo, so that's what I'd do. Could also raise the flop to jam turn, but either way probably works against this guy.

fold to the donk vs unk
edit: nm you said he was bluffy. well if you call youre committed anyway so just jam or fold. depends if you like variance.
I like a r/f line otf.
AP, jam and get him to fold his one heart hands or pay extra with them.
Seems like a pretty straightforward spot to jam.
Okay well Garick approved - I jammed. He snapped with 97hh.
