I know that I messed this hand up. In retrospect lead flop lead turn would've been the best line. Playing OOP suuuckkkkss.
1/1 game. This game has an average open of 11-17 dollars. These usually produce 3-4 way pots. 3bets don't tend to get hands HU unless they're huge. Few pots in this game end on the flop.
V1 100BB. loose aggressive preflop. Probably opening as wide as Kx Qx suited. Folds to most three bets. Very fit or fold post but has it in him to stab once at pots. Tilty. Seems to have sizing tell preflop of raising small with speculative hands.
V2 350BB. will call along wide in position preflop, raises wide if first in, tricky postflop player. Likes to chase without odds, tendency to barrell if he has the lead.
H. (covers) playing TAG, probably seems ABC to table. Has made a couple FPS moves but never showed em down. Had 5 big showdowns in 5 hours. One where I LRR/GII pre with AKo from UTG and brick against 33. One where I double through AJ with A7 that I opened from the CO on a A7x flop, one where I check raise flop/GII on turn vs a an unpredictable lag with TP9K on a monotone board vs the bare A and he bricks the river. One where I raise pre/GII on lockdown flop with AA and win.
V1 raises to 12 from MP, V2 flats HJ, CO folds, BN folds, I call SB with A8hh. BB calls.

Post hand analysis - Preflop this may be too strong hand of a hand to fold this deep. I don't like a 3B on this table because nobody folds to them and, well, i'm in the SB. So, I flat.
Donk instincts came over me when my heart popped through my chest flopping gin this deep. must check! I think leading 25 here is optimal given this game dynamic.
When V1 leads flop he could have top pair, or Cbet air.
To raise flop, V2 I think has TPTK, 2p, sets, some smaller flushes (he might flat these). I think his only air is A
semibluffs so he doesn't have that.
I think a cold c/r3bet is a decent line to take here; some players are doing that with the bare flush draw. I think V2 might see right through that though, and this move works better if it's a jam. instead of a $70-100 raise with 200 behind.
Once turn falls 4th heart I have to get some value from these cards so I lead 70. Meh could be bigger, but this denies sets direct odds (70:193>1:3.6). Villain flats so I put him on sets, 2P only. I dont think he's calling down with a lower flush.
River size is only a 1:1 SPR so I should probably jam. But villian is folding to any jam so I thought I'd try to get some value or give him a chance to spaz out.
SO!
Tell me how dumb I am for calling preflop, or check-flatting the flop, or my turn/river sizing. How can I fix this hand? Are there lines I'm not considering here?
