Too speculative vs FOS fish?
1/3 NLHE 9 handed.
Table is mostly loose passive with a few tighter players in the mix, a couple nits.
V - Splashy fish I've never seen before. Never stops talking and I forgot to bring earphones. He's run a bit of a heater and is up. VPIP about 70% usually just calling pre. Back-raised 3-bet with AJs one hand pre from UTG. Seems to just be clicking buttons. Bet T9o into OOP into 4 people on a A-K-Q flop and spiked a J OTT and nailed someone when it went HU to the turn. Has a lot of air in his range post. Always bets when it checks to him twice. Donks a lot, even multiway. Tries to set a price. Like betting 20 into 75 OTF 4 ways 2nd to act on a A-T-3 with JT. Calls every 3-bet I've made. Feels great being IP on him. Covers. UTG+1.
Asian Friend - Rockish player. Folds a lot. When he puts in money get out of the way. 500$ MP.
H - 500$ LJ.
HH with V - 6 handed, folds to V in SB who goes 15, H to 45 in BB with T♣ 4♣, V calls, HU IP, Flop 7♣ 5♥ 2♣, V bets 75 into 90, H calls. Turn T♠ V bets 200 into 240, I call. River 7♦ x x, I win when he shows 8♥ 9♥.

UTG folds, V goes 15, Asian Friend calls (he 3-bets his premium so this is hands like QJs etc), H sees K♣ K♦ and makes it 55, folds back to V who calls, Asian Friend calls. 3 ways IP.
Flop 165 - A♥ Q♦ T♠
Checks through
Turn 165 - 4♣
V leads 100, Asian Friend folds, Hero calls (?)
River 365 - A♣
V instant leads 200, Hero?

Snappy-mc-Snapperson. And shame on you for not value-betting T4!
I think its just a call on this river. V could easily have air, or value we beat or he could have the nuts. Seems to play his hands the same way regardless.
PRE - raise bigger. Make it $75, not $55. We want this heads-up. Get that Asian friend TFOH.
FLOP - Check back is okay, multi-way, I guess. We might make a small (<1/3 pot) c-bet, like $50.
TURN - AP, after checking back flop, I don't love it, but we probably have to call at least one bet. His size is suspect. What's he repping?
RIVER - Yep, we need to call now. We beat all his worse 2P, and we double-block KJ. If he gets here with a better two pair, pay that man his money.
