You think of it as "very little money left" and V is never folding. Again, it might be true in your game.
But in most LLSNL games that I have played, $160 is still a scary bet. People do not think they're committed.

I thought it was rather clear that I disagree that it's trivial to be stacking off in this spot.

So let's look at few scenarios:
After check/check turn...
-Broadway card falls. Hero shoves $160 into $180, and V calls with worse?
-Flush card falls. Hero shoves $160 into $180, and V calls with worse?
-Blank card falls. Hero shoves $160 into $180, and V calls with worse?
Not saying my games are tougher (they're not), but I just don't see players calling in these spots often enough to take this passive line.
What I do see that happen very often are:
-Ax checks back a street and calls a medium size bet on river.
-KK/QQ sigh calls or sigh folds to medium river bet.
-Scared card falls, we both check river.
