Can you put the money amounts? It's not clear, with the straddles, what we are considering a BB here.

Sb £1
Bb £1
Straddle £2
Double straddle £4

The 37.5bb was based on the double straddle


With no reads telling us that V is capable of doing this without at least J, we should probably fold.


The guy who is raising isn’t just raising you—he’s also raising the guy who called. It is possible, I guess, that the raiser is turning a 5 or pocket pair into a bluff or has a flush draw and is semi-bluffing, but you also have to consider that the caller could be slowplaying a J or even fives full.

Folding is totally fine here.
