Effective stacks of $250. V is a young 20's annoying kid that loves to splash around in pots and tries to sound smart but seems to lack poker fundamentals (though he often sucks out due to playing so many hands). I've played with him before and don't really care for him but he seems to think I'm his friend so whatever that's worth. V has been limp/calling raises all day saying "you want action? alright." He's up around $400 for the session from what I can gather. I've personally seen him call raises with hands like 63s, J4s, 85o, etc.
Hero's image is tight and snug. I haven't played many pots in the 3 hours I've been there mostly due to being card dead. I don't think I've called a single raise yet - the only pots I've won were pots I raised pre and took down on the flop or turn.

I am mostly interested in thoughts on calling the flop raise? In my mind, V is capable of making this type of raise with QJ, QT, JT, T9, T8, T7, J9, 98 and J8. I think he would have raised with any PP so I am not worried about JJ, 99 or 88. Is this enough combos to make a flop c/r call worth it? Since I have position, I can see what V does on the turn.
My commitment decision was "Call the flop raise and reassess turn. Fold if V bets big on the turn. Check back if V checks turn and be prepared to call a small to medium sized river bet." Is this pretty good logic for the way the hand played out and my SDV?
