Does V understand barrelling ranges? As in, does he know the K is a great card for us to barrell regardless of our holding? If the answer is yes, then maybe I can get there. If not, I can't talk myself into what looks like a Hero call now, even at 2.5-1+.
It's not x/c x/r. Villain is in position, he floated flop.
Regarding the psychology, I think there's often confirmation bias at play (edit: probably not exactly the right term, but you'll see what I mean). If villain thinks we're tight and solid, he'll go down the "Well, I guess he has AK" track here. But given he's just had it suggested to him by another player that we're full of ****, once that seed is planted, it's not hard for him to tell himself a story about how we're just stabbing at a scare card. I wouldn't be surprised to see him show up with something like T9 here, a hand good enough to float the flop but not to raise, and then on the turn he just gets stubborn and is like "**** you, not folding".
