Not much information on V, table has been playing a tad bit loose, not many big hands have happened in the last two hours, overall uneventful.
Hero has 500 effective.
OTTH
Hero is on the button straddling to 10. MP calls 10. V in LP raises to 35. I look down at AKo, raise to 105. MP folds, V calls.
Flop ($220): 622r
V checks, Hero?
My thoughts here are that I have to continue betting here a majority of the time since I'm repping strong over pairs. I should probably check back some amount of time to have balanced play.
Something like 75 to fold out overs, expect to get called by all his pairs.
OTT you'll have a psb left to jam or check behind depending on his calling tendencies

Clear range advantage board. Bet 100% of range for 1/3 pot. I'd make it $75. You're ahead decently often and can take a free card on the turn if you get called to realize your equity.
He's never folding a pair, unfortunately. I might just check behind and give up if I don't hit turn. I would do the same sometimes with AA/KK because once you check, they usually bet the turn.
We just don't have enough money left to bluff here. If we bet and he calls, we should continue on the turn, but usually we'll just check behind. I guess we can c-bet and give up if called and we don't improve, but I'd go closer to $100.

The only other thought I have about betting $75 is that does it come off as a blocker/weak bet? Some V's could take it as a sign of weakness and re-jam/re-raise, thoughts on that?
