I hate limped pots
1/3 NLHE 9 handed
Table is loose passive and was better earlier but got worse. A good TAG sat down on our left, a couple old asian OMCs came over as games were breaking. And we're up 200$ on the night thinking of leaving. 740$. BB.
V1 - Older asian man that has two modes - punt mode where he buys in short and keeps shoving repeatedly. And 2. When he's up - A weird combo of loose passive pre and hyper-aggressive post when he hits. Like call anything pre even JJ-KK and then see flop K-J-3 and bet like 2x pot. He's currently down for several 100$ BIs but has doubled the most recent one to 200$. MP. 200$.
V2 - Old irrelevant asian woman with 40$. Late position.

4 people limp to us in the BB and we see 5♥ 2♥ and check
Flop 15 - 8♥ 5♣ 2♣
SB check, H check, V1 bets 10, V2 calls, BTN folds, SB folds, H x/raises 3-ways OOP to 45, V1 calls, V2 calls AI and sidepot is like 4$.
Turn 150ish - 6♠
Hero? V1 has 150 back.

Shove for pot. Hope no one has 74 or 54.
This game sounds terrible, and if we were already thinking about leaving, the new arrivals would hasten my exit.
As for the hand, I like the flop check raise, but I'd go larger, like $80. Make V1 commit to playing for all of it, right now.
As played, just jam turn.
At this point, just gii. He might have hit the turn, but it seems as if you had him on the flop, so let's hope you still do.
Check/shove. If he's in punt mode, let him punt.
Flop is kind of whatever. What was your plan on turn Qd?
Sizing could be fine or bad, mostly depending on V2's stack size and your plans vs. what she does.
Pretty bad turn card, although only Kx/Qx are really bricks.
97/86/74/65/43 all crush us now, and lots of calls have clubs or a 7 so aren't crushed anywhere near as bad.
Your read as aggro. when he hits suggests that if you check and he bets you are in v. bad shape.
Saying that we have ~1 SPR.
I would very likely start by checking, without any other reads.
I would bet the flop here myself. I'm not confident enough that bottom two on this board is still good if some real money goes in on the turn or river when there are so many cards that can cause us to have the second best hand. Maybe I'm being too conservative or mubsy, but I'd rather just bet myself in order to maintain some control over the pot instead of blowing it up and ending up not knowing where I stand half the time on later streets. So not a fan of the check/raise.
On the other hand, I now see both villains are short, so I guess it's more whatever then. Can't be a huge mistake to just raise/gii, I guess? So I just shove now, this turn card isn't that bad imo, as in it could have been (a lot) worse. There are still lots of worse hands that can call.

I check call his shove and he has 34o.
You could have jammed flop. He wasn't folding.
