V seems like bad rec player. Have seen him overplay two hands: one, a likely lower flush on K9642ccc, line went bet-bet-bet/call for 90bb total. Second hand, V stacked off with 75o on K98hh, turn 6 for 200bb vs nut straight, c/c, c/r and call shove for 160bb OTT.

Your line looks good to me all around...only hands you worry about are TT or AA. Are you thinking you missed value somewhere?? Think the hand was well disguised...like the shove for value...no reason to min-raise. I guess...sorry if you got coolered...
I won the hand. Let's just focus on the line. I wonder about value, yes. Specifically, that the river is sized poorly. Also, wondering about stop and go flop, bang turn as an alternative
Spoiler:
It's kind Of a bummer that anytime someone posts a han with a strong holding there's an auto-assumption that the hand was a cooler. Obv there's not much to learn from those spots (and I don't post them much).

1/2 PSB is weird flop sizing. $30 sounds a lot better, especially given you're gonna try to bet/bet/bet for the most part, and you're losing value on all streets by sizing flop small.
Turn call looks good to me. His range is mostly decent Ax (I haven't looked at spoiler yet), so I'd just let him keep firing and not let him off the hook by raising turn.
You got what you want on the river - another large bet from villain. Your shove is obviously good.
Don't see anything wrong with the hand except flop sizing.
Asked about the cooler because I thought you played it spot on....
Flop could've been a reraise but think you might fold out a lot of hands in his range you're crushing. I believe you lose value by raising the turn when the board pairs...let him keep the initiative with a bluff on the river or think he's betting for value. Didn't seem like there was much to comment on...
Betting small OTF is fine IMO if you're going to be cbetting in the game a lot. It allows you cbet more in general for smaller bets if anyone is paying attention.
Agree with flop sizing being a bit small and agree with hand being played well.
However,
No comments on the river jam? I'm not so sure he can have anything here that we beat which will call.
Even recfish realize that their A10 is no good with this line. It's possible he has a 5 here or 23s, 510s, but when **** gets real like it did in this hand even most below average rec fish know how to fold the 7th nuts. It's a lot easier to stack a fish with flush/flush or straight/straight than it is to have them call a 140bb river bet with less than a boat on a paired board. If he's got a boat, he's never folding. But how many boats does he really have here that we beat. I'd think AA/1010 is just as likely as 45/510 between combinatorics and tendencies of average recfish. Lower boats being even less likely and 1010 being most likely if he's not the kind of recfish who defends with 510 and 45 on a regular basis.
If you are a Wildman on this table and have seen doing this kind of stuff with a missed draw then that's a different story.
I think you need to bet the flop bigger, and also (and more importantly) raise the turn. The problem with your plan for this hand is that when it gets to the river, your shove ups the bet from $300 to over $1000 (since you only got $210 each in before that), and that can be scary even if he was just willing to bet $300.
If you bet $35 or $40 on the flop, the check-raise is for more money; the turn bet is for more money, and then, when you raise it, you can set up the turn raise and the river shove so that he's more likely to cry-call both. Instead of getting in $210 before the river and saving $1040 for the river, why not raise turn to try to get in something like $460 each before the river, then shove $790 into $920? Or, with the bigger flop bet, $550 each before, and then shove $700 into $1100? It is still scary, but I think less so.
