1/3 AQ 3wp
1/3 9 handed
V1 is between nit/tag. Never seen him ool vs hero unless with a hand.
V2 is drunk aggro spewy fish. Has played a few sessions with him already. Super wide ranges preflop. Will show aggression postflop when you show weaknesses. Very sticky as well. Sometimes he bet super thin you can't tell they're bluffs or thin value. Many players who tried to bluff catch vs him fail because he shows up with showdown value that bluffed.

like 2 weeks ago, he played such hand vs a lag
HH1
Lag opens in mp, V2 in sb 3bets w/77
Board was Q2468 he 3barrelled, river was 200 into 300, lag called all 3 barrel, V2 won.
Tonight he won a super huge pot vs 2 fishes.
HH2
nit opens 15 in co, maniac 3bets to 35 in sb, fish coldcalls in bb, V2 coldcalls in utg, nit call.
Flop t86cc
maniac bets 100, fish flats, V2 raises to 350, maniac ships for 500, fish ships for 700, v2 snaps w/97hh, fish had 66, maniac had aa.
Hero should have tight image, but we 3bet V2 quite often since he opens super wide. In headsup pot we usually take it down on flop vs v2.
Actual hand
Effective stacks
V1(nit) 400
V2 covers the table
Hero ~ 500
Utg rock straddle for 5, V1 in +1 min open to 10.
I have played many sessions with V1 already, he literally opens 20 every single time even in UTG with no straddle, with straddle he opens for 25. This is the first time seeing min open from him so sc and small pp?
Hero picks up A♠Q♣ 3bets to 35 in mp.
V2 coldcalls in sb. Quite wide calling ranges, sc, pp, broadways, axs.
V1 flats.
Pot 113
Flop J♦4♥6♣
They both check
Hero?

Check back or bet really small, less than 1/3 pot. Maybe $25 or $30, at the absolute most.
Ok we bet 45, V2 x/c V1 folds.

V2 checks H?
You bet a little big and V2 called next to act. What range are you giving him?
On this board, I'd think he could have some strong hands, like 2P+, and some weak showdown hands, just 1P. Our hand doesn't have much showdown value against that sort of range.
Either check back and give up, or bet small again, less than 1/2 pot, to re-cap V. Fold if he raises.
If he leads out on the river, he probably has a good hand and we can just fold. If he checks, we can over-bet to fold out hands like 77-TT and worse. Maybe he folds Jx some of the time.
It's not the worst thing in the world to just check back to realize our equity, and fold river unimproved. We might spike a Q or A and be able to call a bet or bet thin for value.
Honestly not in love 3betting anyone labelled as a nit opening from EP, but I guess I can understand it facing this sizing.
Against a nit who called the 3bet and a player described as very sticky, I wouldn't be putting in any more money UI.
ETA: And I continue to give up on the turn. It's non scary plus it completes some of his hands. Against very sticky players we should pretty much limit our betting to value, and Ace high seems a little thin for that, imo.

I actually like the stab on the flop for the slightly larger size, mostly because I was going to say
...bet whatever size you use for that. Spewy should be giving you at least as much fold equity as heads-up, and V1 feels pretty fit-or-fold. The read that Spewy folds a lot of flops seems very important. If the read on V1's small size is right, I would expect V1 to get pushed off worse than top pair, and blast off with a set or overpair. If one or both call, I think hitting an A or Q will be good and seems likely that we will get the option to check back the turn.
As played, I'm guessing Spewy has a pair. I don't think we have much FE anymore, so I just check it back and mostly give up unless we improve.
Ok, we check
River 4♣
V2 bets 80.
Hero???

Hm... definitely marginal hands range. I've never seen him slowplay.
If I had to guess, some 4x, 6x, Qx, 57, 78, 45, 56, 67 type hands. Maybe even some middle pp.

I dunno. Not sure why you'd attempt to bluff a drunk spewy V off of any sort of value, no matter how weak. Just pot control and bet for value when you have it.
You got a bad run out - I'm just folding river
