Let's pretend it was HU. So villain is risking $50 to win $92 and therefore if we fold > ~35% he makes an instant profit. So we need to defend at least 65% of our preflop combos.
could be misinterpreting what youre writing, but this isnt right.
the defense threshold you identified is shared between the two players, so here it could be v2 needs to defend 30% of his range, and then given v2 has folded you should defend 50% of yours (defending 50% of the 70% of the time that v2 has folded means you collectively are defending 65% of the time). those %s will vary based on how the various ranges interact with the flop (ie if v2's range whiffs entirely, defense may fall largely on you esp bc you are still left to act).
as a dangerous non-sequitor, gto doesnt actually require that you prevent atc from bluffing profitably
i would not recommend applying defense analysis like this to these spots, i dont think it is very helpful. besides, without knowing the %s each player needs to defend, it ends up being a lot of guesswork anyways.
as for the actual hand, id just fold flop and make a note. it would be odd for v1 to lead into a whale and the pfr without a pretty strong range. the fact he has a donking range is noteworthy, though.
v1's lead seems pretty suspect here, but who knows what he thinks of v2 and you
