2/5 TPTK no good? 2/5 TPTK no good?

NOTE There is a big $570 buyin, 1m gtd torny that just ended day 1. It's 2 am. (I made day 2 btw, but busted 100 from the money :C 350 out of 3k isn't bad )

Hero - SB - Covers Younger, just sat at the table maybe an orbit ago? Played 2 hands, one where I called a raise with 8's flop 10/5/5 someone bet, i called, someone raised, I folded. Other hand everyone folded to me OTB where I raised with 45, V1 in the BB called.
Flop A45, I bet, he called. Turn 10 he bet, I called, river K He bet, I called, he said nice called and flipped 97 and topped off.

V1 - UTG $600 Mid 30's hispanic guy. When I first sat at the table, he was involved in a big hand where an old guy raised him OTF with top 2,then blind shoved turn and he tank called it off. River bricked and he mucked. Board was q9xxx rainbow. Only history / hands I've seen him in was mentioned above. Although I've only been there an orbit or two. Most likely tilting.

V2 - BTN - $520 Mid 30's white guy. Just sat maybe 5 hands ago? He played in the $570 torny that I just came from, he said he didn't bag tho. Hes a dealer at another local casino and I've never played with him before. I don't think hes too comfortable with playing 2/5 tho. He said he won a $100 torny elsewhere for like 3k so he figured he would "take a shot" at the $570 (which makes me think he doesn't usually play 2/5. Also what better time to take a shot on a saturday?)

V2 straddles for $10, Hero limps in the SB with AQ, V1 makes it $50, folds to V2 whos straddling who tanks, then calls, Hero calls.

I considered limp/rr'ing here, but I don't see much fold equity vs V1. He's tilting, and IP. I don't want to play a bloated pot OOP... Thoughts?

Flop ($155)
Q95

Hero checks, V1 bets $75, V2 ships for $470 total, and actions back to hero...

My plan on checking here was to raise V1. I'm confident I have a better hand than V1, but V2's over sized jam just completely blew me off.

It honestly really seems like V2 has a hand like J10 or like KJ or a big combo draw and doesn't want to see anymore cards, but is fine if someone calls.

was it folded to you in the sb? Def raise there. Calling the raise was a mistake.

as played I would probably fold without any reliable reads. it's usually more than a pair. I don't see many FD's he's calling pf for 50 but I see more PPs usually.

BTN straddle so action was on me first in the SB.

I would still either raise or fold, calling the raise is still less then optimal. I would prefer the limp/rr/f rather than the limp/call.

I think you're often chopping at best, unless history shows otherwise folding is good

I don't know if I have it in me to fold tptk in a cash game for 52 or 60bb; maybe I fold KQ, but AQ, let's gamble.

pre I'd either fold or make it $200 with a plan to shove the flop when I miss.

AP, assuming you are still comfortable V1 is FOS then I'm definitely calling a shove from a straddling poker dealer who recently busted out of a tourney. Tip the dealer and tell him no hearts.

Fold and play another hand. If he just flat you probably good but his jam has to be a sign of strength

Yuck. I´m folding for sure here. I´m thinking we are flipping or drawing thin. Not enough overlay.

Why not raise pre? This is akin to limping AQ UTG, no? I´d make it $50.

Edit: Reread. I see your plan. Unless V is obviously steaming, AQo just doesn't seem like enough of a hand to be limp RR'ing given stacks.
