Hero is 30s WG. Tightest player at the table and hasn't gone to show down much. Caught bluffing once on the river with a hand that had no show down value. Uncertain if V even noticed though. Other than that, I have 3!'d maybe twice in the 4 or so hours i've been playing. Also have been careful with my cbets and haven't necessarily just auto fired heads up on every single flop when i was the pre flop raiser. I've been checking back weak, medium, and strong hands at some frequency.
Villain is a 20s muscle guy with a beard and tattoo sleeve. He plays too loose imo, but has at least some idea of position and preflop hand values (i.e. i saw him 3! a button open out of the sb with A8s). I don't view him as overly tricky post flop. He's up big for the session and I get the impression he doesn't really want to lose it all back.
H is effective at $300
V opens in MP to $17 (this is on the larger end for the game), MP2 calls, HJ calls, Hero raises to $55 with A
K
. V thinks for a minute or two and calls. Others fold.
Pot: $147
Flop: 5

V checks, Hero...
Do we like a check back thinking that there's little fold equity against V's 3! calling range in this spot
or
Do we like a downbet with the intention of shoving all turns?
