Hero: (BTN, $430 or so) early 30s WG reg. Been LAGging it up. Opened more than anyone else at the table, 3bet at least three times (and gotten shipped on two of those times, by AA both times). Table is aware I'm capable of bluffing, including on river, as I barreled turn and river in a 3bet pot on an AcXcAdXcXc runout and got looked up by 44c. I don't think V1 was at the table for that particular hand though.
V1: (MP, covers) late 20s/early 30s WG mark. Calls raises with hands like K7o, J3o. Overlimps/min-reraises premiums. Started opening much wider after he luckboxed his way into a decent stack. I'd be surprised if he thought beyond Level 1. I haven't seen him bluff, but nor has he really been in a spot to do so (he's never checked behind on river, always bet himself or was facing a river bet).
OTTH
Two limps to V1, who raises to $15. Folds to Hero on BTN who calls with Q

. Blinds both call, limpers call. 5 ways to flop.
Flop ($70 post drop): Q

Checks to V1 who bets $45. Hero raises to $155. Folds to V1 who calls. Frankly, I had trouble ranging him at this point. I haven't seen him enough to know what he would do with KK/AA facing a big raise. Diamond draws with a pair or gutshot (AK/AJ/AT/JT/KJ etc) are all in his range, I imagine. I don't think he's the type to fold AQ to this raise, unsure on KQ.
Turn ($390): Q

Jackpot. V1 checks. Hero has about $260 or so behind him. Are we ripping it in now to try to get value from draws (which may have gotten spooked by the board pairing, which is great for Hero's flop raising range) or do we check behind and use position to let him make a mistake on the river?
