1/2 NL  Large Multiway Preflop from the BB 1/2 NL  Large Multiway Preflop from the BB

One of two hands from this weekend's session that i'm anxious to hear some second opinions on.

Hero [$300]: Mid thirties white guy. No hoodie, glasses or headphones. I've been sitting at the table for about an hour when the game started. I'm by far the tightest player at the table, have barely played any pots and if i have it's been in position for a raise pre flop.

V1 [$110]: mid thirties black guy in a hoodie with headphones. Has been sitting for about 45 minutes. Has seen the flop roughly 95% of the time. PFRs have close to 0 fold equity against this V. He straddles about 50% of the hands and will raise everything but the bottom 10%(ish) of hands pre flop if it's limped to him.

Table Dynamics: Aside from myself and V, the table is filled with normal, MAWGs. They are playing very conservatively so far. Everyone is limping a lot and a PFRs have taken down a lot of pots except vs. V, who the table has had enough of. No other players have less than $200 in front of them.

OOT

V1 Straddles for $4 UTG. 5 limps to Hero in BB who looks down at 66 Hero calls $4. V1 Raises to $15, all limpers call. Pot is $90. Hero reraises to $85.

Anyone have thoughts on this play? I realize that V never folds in this situation, and i'm likely in a coin flip with V, but I'm okay with the variance with so much dead money likely to be in the pot.

I would just fold 66 to begin with. You know you won't get to see a cheap flop, V1 isn't deep and you can't be sure how other opponents will react to a raise. If they are done with V1 somebody may be ready to come over the top.

As played, the reraise is OK but super risky. The rest will fold 90+% of the time after flatting the $15. V1 is only folding if he raised with total garbage and he has enough unpaired hands that it will be +EV but he will draw out on you a lot.

Just call the 15 and see a flop your hand plays great multiway since you'll either flop huge or can fold if you don't. You're just not really repping anything strong after limping the BB, you said V won't fold and you're just gonna be OOP and in a lot of bad spots post flop.
