It's something like 5 am on a 1/3 Mississippi straddle table. We keep getting these amateur 'pro' dudes coming to our table buying in deep and acting as the bully. So far we've crushed them (We as in a me and two other dudes I've been with all night)
Hero (1700): Playing TAG. Not sure how to value hands pre at a table this short, so has blead some stack off floating and fit/folding too much. Looking pretty weak to the new bully. Recently tightened back up to near my full table pre raising/calling range. Getting tired of his antics, I've started playing back at him a bet with 3-bets to his straddle raises. The dynamic is getting tricky.
Bully (1500): Straddle 75% of hands. Getting tilting from my 3-bets, and beginning to spew as a result to others. I'm hoping my turn will be soon.
Another dude who thinks his stack buys him respect.
He and I have 3 bet each other 4-5 times in the past 30 mins. Only one hand made it to the flop to this point, and he folded to a c-bet.
Hand: Hero UTG A

(Sweet, an actual hand with which i don't need to bluff)
Hero raises to 20, poor sap calls, Bully 3-bets 60, Hero 4-bets 145 (I want him to call), poor sap slinks away, Bully calls.
Flop (310): 3

Hero Checks, V Checks (I read posts from Mods here about pot controlling on flop... I don't really want a pot >700 going to the river with 1 pair here. I think checking on such a dry flop gives his (junk hand) time to grab some equity to float my turn bet of ~150. His range is so damn wide here that I don't want to blow him out.
Turn (310): 10
Hero bets 150.
Any tips on how to continue to get value from a tilty V whose range includes a high percentage of garbage? Can I check a second time?
