Deepish with bad V
1/3 NLHE 8 handed.
V - I've had his number all night. Used to be one of the biggest donaters to our game but seems to have studied up a bit and is now folding a lot more preflop - used to be a loose passive whale. He's also trying to be more aggressive postflop but he's outplaying himself. He's x/raising in spots where it doesn't make sense or he'll stab multiway for no reason - kind of like a kid on training wheels whose learned a bit about bicycles but now wants to enter le tour de france. All this said he's still primarily a loose passive player. Has a bet sizing tell pre - bigger = stronger. Covers. HJ.
HH - some fish opens HJ to 10, V 3-bets CO to 25, H cold 4-bets SB to 100 with AQhh, only V calls. HU OOP. Kh-7c-3s I bet 75 he calls. Turn As. I bet 225 into 250 and he tanks for over 5 minutes before folding - had about 450 back.
----
one limp, V opens HJ to 15, H sees 2♣ 2♥ and calls BTN off 850$ eff stack, limper folds and we go HU IP.
Flop 30 - T♣ 5♦ 2♠
V checks, I bet 15, he calls
Turn 60 - J♦
V checks, I bet 35, V calls
River 130 - Q♥
V checks, I bet 50, V x/raises to 400...
This is villain dependent and you didn’t really give us enough of a read to call either way. He x/r with lines that don’t make sense, but do his sizing make sense? Bad can mean he overbluffs or never bluffs here.

I agree. Obviously very nice call though. I guess maybe there is some value in block betting IP on the river like you did to induce a spaz vs this villain.
I will say some of the sets on the river don't make a ton of sense unless v is super trappy. But in general the amount of Vs that end up on the river with total air and check raise overbet bluff is so small. I would look for there to be some history indicating that he could do this.
