V1 about 80$ is very loose passive preflop, lost about 8 min buy ins already.
Calls of 20-30% of his stack preflop regularly and than folding the flop or getting it in with a pair/overpair
V2 about 120$ is a TAG normally, loosing session for him. My read says tilt but i am not 100% certain.
2/5 game. I am in the SB and have K

Game is raised to 15 from first person and V1 calls ind the cutoff and V2 plays the button.

Q
giving me two pair and a a gutshot
Hero?
I decide to check to give worse hands the possibility to bet and have the oppourtunity to evaluate after everyone has acted
Straddle Checks, initial raiser checks, V1 goes all in for 65$, V2 snap calls with having 40$ behind.

I don't give V1 a very good hand here. He could have worse 2 pair, even top pair, back door flush draws. Sets and the nut straight are also within his range ofc. I expect to dominate his hand.
Giving V2 a range is a little bit more difficult for me. Given the stack sizes and the table image of V1 he could also call with 2 pair hands and also overpairs (while aces are unlikely). He could also have the straight or a Set. I dont know how to interprete his snap call in that situation.

Wit 2 players still behind me i have a difficult decision although my hand is pretty strong. I tend to fold because of V2 but leveling myself to believe that V2 might do this only because of the weaker handrange of V1.
What do you think? Is it a fold?
