Main villain (V1) is down $600 and has stated that he is chasing his losses earlier on. He lost a massive hand and caused a big scene earlier where pitbosses had to be called, cameras checked, and he lost the ruling. Villain is opening $20 every single hand for last 30 mins, and has been drinking heavily. I've seen him opening with Q7o, K2, and trash hands in some showdown spots. V2 in hand is an aware laggy reg, calls a bit too wide pre. Hero has $250 and main villain has $240. OTTH.
Straddle is on at $4
V1 opens $20 UTG
V2 flats
Hero MP1 AhQc 3bet to $85
folds back to V1, takes a bit, and calls.
V2 looks back at his cards and exposes the 10d to me, he mucks.
Flop ($177): 10h 7h 3o
V1 checks, Hero ??

Um, did you declare that you had seen the exposed 10d?

$155 left and $177 pot.
I shove.
10d being exposed doesn't make much difference to my decision.
We clearly have equity vs his range and hand isn't strong enough to give v a free card and hope to induce turn shove.

For the most part just shove. If you have no FE then you should be ahead of his range enough for it to be +EV and if he is folding unless he has a good hand/good draw then your bluff value is enough.
In this sort of situation your villain isn't playing any sort of GTO or even vaguely rational play style. There are exceptions to the above strategy depending on what villain is actually doing. What sort of range is villain on for calling your 3 bet? How does he react to a flop shove? What does he do if you don't bet/shove flop?

Because you reraised preflop, this somewhat made your stacks awkward and you barely have a pot size bet.. If you are truly going against a tilted maniac, I would be more cautious on why he checked the flop instead of shove all in before you.
If he called the 3 bet that was effectively 33% of his stack, I doubt he would not call an all in shove on this flop. If this was me, I would check the flop and if a A/Q or heart comes on the Turn, then execute a shove

Cool - jammed this otf and he called off with A9.
Unfortunately he binked his 9 on the riv.
