Dreaded LAG comes over, how did I do?
1/3 NLHE 8 handed
Table is deep and was great awhile ago but getting a little tighter now. Earlier people were opening 50$ blind, shoving AXs and reshoving hands like 55-22. Everyone is deep with 2k+. Hero covers the table.
V - Asian LAG kid playing with daddy's money. Plays as big as 25/50/100 as far as I know. Lives in Macao but comes to our room sometimes. Borders on spew. Loves action and aggression but isn't a maniac. VPIP/PFR/3-bet of about 35/20/10. His 3-betting range is very wide. I've seen him 3-bet 77 from the blinds... Cold 4-bet KJs from the blinds... You get the picture. When he has it and he's deep he's one of the most dangerous players in the room imo. One major leak in his game is he doesn't adjust to 1/3 where 3-betting ranges are so nitty, ex. he'll 4-bet shove KQs when 3-bet by an unknown (to him) LP, LP had AQ but V hit a K and stacked him. He just moved to our table because the game is much deeper. 615$ BB.

UTG folds, H sees T♥ T♣ in UTG+1 and opens 10, folds to V who makes it 40, H calls. HU IP.
Flop 80 - 9♥ 8♣ 7♥
Check, check
Turn 80 - 5♠
Check, Hero?
Result:
Spoiler
H looks over at Vs stack and decides somehow that 400 is the amount and raises to this. V thinks for 30s or so and jams his extra 60ish, H snaps and V shows 4♥ 5♥, says I'm "lucky I checked back cause he was going to x/r bomb flop or turn"

So my bet/3bet flop line would have been better than checking twice?

He's going to x/r bomb the flop with no pair, just a gutter to the bottom end of a straight and the 3rd worst flush draw possible?
Make sure you trade numbers with him, and ask him to text you to let you know whenever he's going to play 1/3.
With any other overpair except maybe JJ I'd be checking to get closer to showdown.
But blocking the straight, having the oesd yourself and wanting to charge overcards, betting the flop is more attractive.
If villain actually meant that, perhaps his baseline is playing against people who bet boards like this with a lot of one pair, no draw hands. In which case , you welcome the ability to get it on the flop
I would bet the flop with your vulnerable pair and open ender, happy to get it in on the flop. But it sounds like checking is not an EV mistake in theory and in practice it is probably not a huge EV mistake either.
River result is so preposterous that I won't bother commenting on it. But nice hand.
