1/2 Not the craziest spot but the only one from the session that really stumped me.

Hero (Hijack) is young half-asian playing about $250; only been at the table about 45 minutes, hasn't played any notable pots. Check folded one or two flops; probably a pretty tight image.

V (button): playing about $200 younger black female reg; played together before but never in any notable pots. Pretty passive pre calling a lot of raises but plays pretty aggressive post. Just got caught triple barreling an AAx flop IP and got called down by the big stack with A9. Has been pretty tilted with the pace of play at the table and getting needled for her sour badreg attitude by the guy with the A9.

Pre:

Folds to the big stack to my immediate right; he limps in
Hero with 6s6h makes it 12 in HJ
V flats on the button

Flop ($36)
844r

Big Stack checks
H bets 25
-Paired board is tough to hit and I can still have the best hand alot; figured a bet here takes it down alot.
V reraises to 75.
Big stack folds
Hero?

What is V's flop re-raising range here? Pretty polar bet; theres random 45s combos that she has flatting the button but she folds out so many hands she can get value from by raising here. It Feels like a lot of random junk given how aggressive she is postflop. She didn't 3! pre so I don't think overpairs are likely. I'm OOP with a weak pair here so I don't love the spot; likely gonna have to face more bets ott and river. Just have to be ok folding and waiting for better spots?

You’re not even doing great against air, and this is often a pair trying to outplay AK. Fold or jam.

It's not uncommon for tilted players to call with junk, hoping to get lucky. She lost the AA hand I assume? Even if she didn't, sounds like she's probably tilted from all the verbal abuse from the A9 guy.
Or maybe she's just a plain ol' fish.
Wouldn't be shocked to see her with 5,4/6,4/K4 in this spot.
Long story short "fold!"

I just fold otf given that we block her bluffs and are likely facing aggression ott and otr.

Thanks for the responses guys; as a default move I ended up making the fold but just had a tough time putting V on a range when thinking through the hand.

Folding seems best; flatting bad and jamming with some kind of read maybe a slight second best

Bet smaller on flop with whole range. $12-15.

Large sizing in these spots are counter productive.

In a lot of cases i’d Call and pot control through the river. Against a tilted V I don’t the play because you probably can’t pot control 2 more streets. In game I can see viable lines for all three options. In this spot, probably just folding.

Yet you don't think she can have 99/TT/JJ here?
