Q is a nice card to double barrel. Call river raise getting 4-1 against said V. Trips, J9,AK,random stuff are in his range.

Folding would be ridiculous, raising is not good unless you have specific reads omitted from HH. I guess he had something infuriating like QQ? Sorry about that.

The issue is why a spewtard would check back the turn. You may have a bad read. Most common there is he has a ten in the hole.

You should probably bluff that turn. I don't see what you accomplish by checking. If you put 30 in at that point, it defines the hand so much better.

100% open pre vs said villain for pure value.

I like a bet flop, bet turn, bet/ call river line (turn depends a lot on your read of Villain etc).

Your described V most likely plays a lot of hands you beat this way (trips, QT, KT, KQ) of which there are way more combos than nutted hands so easy river call.

Wish you did know a bit more about V's tendencies, his PF 3Bet range, how he plays monsters etc.

Are you really thinking about folding? For real?

* You runner runner backdoored into the nut straight with no flush onboard

* You are getting 4-1

* The guy spews, so not just worse hands but total spazzy bluffs are in his range.

* You are getting FOUR TO ONE WITH A DECEPTIVE NUT STR8 WHILE LOTS OF OTHER HANDS (KT, 5x, J9, bluffs) COULD RAISE

You must be asking if you should raise, which you shouldn't.

So semi-bluff the turn w/ a gutshot and an over, and bet call river. Are we still calling if villain shoves on river?

This was really standard. Preflop, flop, turn, and river played themselves

Gotta fire another barrel on that turn. AP I think river could definitely be played as a 3b/f or a flat. Folding is the only bad option. I think V could play A5s, 56s, 45s, 57s, etc. like this, so I kind of like click it back and fold to a jam.
