Midnight game at an east coast Indian casino.
Villain 1 is a young Lebanese American male. VPIP/PFR is about 30/15. In the only hand he played against hero, he raises $25 in EP, two calls, hero calls OTB. Flop Q

. He x/c a $60 bet from hero, others fold. He then then x/f a $100 bet from hero on A
turn. $1600.
Villain 2 is a young Asian American male. VPIP/PFR roughly 60/20. No significant hands against hero. I've seen him take some lines that looked bluffy, but no showdowns yet. $660.
Hero is a white guy in his 30s who looks 25 because of good genes. Card dead, so about 15/12 over last 50 hands. Just lost a small 3b pot to a different villain. Young loose player opens UTG, I 3b QQ in UTG+1, folds around and he calls, board came KJ9JA and action went x/x, I call half pot bet on turn, x/x river, I show first, he tables 99 and said he was afraid of KK/AA...so I guess my image is tight. $1800.
On to the hand.
UTG limps, V1 overlimps in MP1, three others limp, hero raises A
Q
OTB to $25. V2 calls from BB, UTG folds, V1 raises to $90. Folds to hero who calls. V2 calls. $280 in pot.
From his sizing and body language, I feel there's a good chance that V1 is FOS with his limp/reraise. I think he views my hand as light because of my own sizing and thinks he can pick up a pot preflop.

V2 checks, V1 bets $160, I call, V2 shakes his head, seems like he's going to fold, then cuts out chips and calls. $760 in pot.

V2 shoves for $400 pretty quickly. Body language seems bluffy. V1 thinks for a bit and calls. Hero?
In game, I'm thinking that if V1 has the same read I have on V2, there's a possibility he can call V1's $400 shove with KK or a small flush and then fold when I come over the top (because who comes over the top in this spot without the nuts?)
Assuming I have V2 beat, do I actually have the fold equity against V1 to make a bluff shove +EV, or is this all just a horribly spewy hallucination?
