So 2/5 has been pretty eventful so far. Got my ass kicked on Sunday night to the tune of -$1,500 due to some bad luck and unfortunate hands. Made about half of it back last night, but this hand stuck out.
OTTH,
Effective stacks: $1000 vs. V1, $500 vs. V2
V1 is a late-30's Middle Eastern looking guy. He is a 2/5 reg and chummy with another 2/5 reg at the table. Probably been at the table for an hour or two, but has been relatively quiet, not raising many hands. He is directly to Hero's right and has a "no chop" policy from the blinds. Two orbits ago it folded to him in the SB, he made it $25 I called with Q9s, flop Q67 he checks, I bet $50, he calls. Turn 9, he checks, I bet $125, he folds. His stack hasn't moved all that much.
V2 is a mid-20's Asian that just moved over to the table a few hands ago. No reads.
OTTH,

Is this an automatic check or automatic c-bet? I normally always check back A-high flops when I am the PF raiser and have a smaller pair (KK, QQ, JJ) as it seems like a WA/WB situation. With V2 cold-calling a 3! from the BB, I feel he has to be weighted towards big Aces and big PP's. V1 could also have an Ace here and is doing the standard "check to the aggressor" line. I really didn't know what to do here.
Turn: 9
V2 checks
V1 bets $145
Hero ?
