AKo in tight shallow config
2/5 NLHE 8 handed
Straddle is on for 10 UTG every hand semi-mandatory (you'll look like a loser if you don't straddle). We bought in for 800 and have barely played a hand, we have 725$ to start and V barely covers us with about 800$. Our 2/5 is quite TAG by my standards after playing different rooms, most hands are 3-bet pre.
V - Angry loose passive white guy, has a big ego. Very face up on rivers and generally just opens too wide and calls way too wide pre, tries to mix it up by raising sometimes but ends up just being somewhat splashy. Does not run multi street bluffs. LJ.

UTG straddles 10, H sees A♥ K♦ and opens 30, V next to act 3-bets to 75, folds back to me and I just call.
Flop 160 (650 back) - 9♦ 2♦ 2♠
H checks, V bets 55, we call
Turn 270 (595 back) - 8♦
H checks, V bets 125, we call
River 520 (470 back) - 4♦
H shoves...

I assume you know he will call with a weaker flush?
Most times here only the A of diamonds calls here.

I'll illustrate with an HH I forgot to include

V opens EP, BB good TAG and UTG straddle fish call. Flop 9h-4h-4s checks through, turn 9s, check check V bets 1/3rd, BB folds UTG x/r 4x, V calls, river Th, UTG barrels 2/3rds pot, V calls with AKo no heart one spade, UTG has Q9o
4b pre I’m happy to gii for 72bb. Check river to induce, he might bet the hands that station anyways.
If we bet I don’t think we need to pot it on this polarizing river.
Just jam pre. Don't donk the river.
Well maybe not jam but like 225 at least, his sizing is lame.
