Hero betting on Turn and River are no where near 2 pair or better bet sizing. The bet sizing is what V is keying off of here IMO .. in order to blast. V may put us on a pp, but there's no way he's putting us on a strong Ace or 2 pair. He may not think KK/QQ, but he 'knows' it's no better than 1 pair Ax ... at least that's where I would put an unknown in this spot.
Yes, bet big when you have it .. or at least on the Flop (or more appropriately on Turn when HU here) and c/f if you get called down.
You have a hand with showdown value ... so lets try to get to showdown. Again, my assumption is you thought you could blocker bet him but I think he's played enough poker to realize that you are vulnerable here. GL
