AP, I'd rather x/r flop after OMC's probing bet than bluff at this river.
H river bluff reps what exactly? A red Ace that H passively exposed to two streets against V's premium pair with a spade? A vulnerable small flush? Wait for a better bluff spot.
How else would you play an A on this board? You're x/r flop with top pair against OMC? H can easily represent an A that x/c, x to the aggressor, lead river for value.
H is never winning this hand without bluffing and is at the stone bottom of his range because H doesn't have many unpaired spades that get to this river AP.
I fold flop, but I think a $85 river lead works decently often AP. If V ever 3-bets AK, AQ I c/f river (and certainly fold flop).
