I have no idea what to make of deliberately showing a card like this in a multiway pot. I've only seen people show one card a few times, and almost always if they show a card it's because they want you to think they're weak when they are strong, although that card could go both ways. It's incredibly stupid though because now any club is an action killer. Usually when you hit the one card A-high flush you try and extract a couple bucks from the K/Q high, but he just made that impossible.
Whether I lead or check in these spots depends on where the live/aggressive ones are in the hand. If they are right on my left, I lean towards check and try to trap the field with a check/raise. If they are on my right I'll just lead out. It sounds like check ended up being right here.
I just flat now. If all V1 has is a flush draw, a 3-bet could push him out, which you don't want. V2 obviously doesn't believe him. However your call is going to look VERY scary to V2. If the turn is a brick I probably donk it out like 1/2 pot. If it's a club or pairs the board, I queue up the x/r trap.
I wish I got to make these types of decisions more often.
