V1: SB (~$500) - Asian old guy, he's some different kind of player, sometimes he's LAG, but this day he was particularly tight and passive. May stack off light, sometimes.

V2: BTN (~$700) - Mid 40's man, really donk, loves pairs, called my 4-bet against other guy on table with I don't know what and then called a 1/2PSB on flop with (air?)

Hero: HJ (~$550) - Tight image (like it cares for villains), have shown some nice folds and stuff, playing a really small number of hands because of cold deck.

Action: UTG straddles, 1 call, I make it $25, V2 calls, V1 calls, Straddle calls, UTG+1 calls (gotta love MW Pots with AJ!!!!).

Flop ($130): 225 - Pretty sure no one's got nothing here besides a small PP (Or the nut FH).

V1 donks $30, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds -> I've seen him doing this many times with total air on a paired board. He may have 2 really weak over cards with one broadway. I look to the left and V2 is holding the chips for calling. I thought he would call any raise with a PP so I decide to call and spike an Ace or a Jack. So I called, but V2 took too much time to call, what is weird because I was expecting an instant call from him, now thought he might be holding 2 over cards too. He is never holding a boat cuz he would raise.

Turn ($210): 3 What a **** card. The only good thing is if I'm not putting any one on a pair, this is the time for bluffing and avoiding weird rivers.

V1 instant checks and look around, I bet $100. Thoughts?

at this point your best move is to check/fold. betting out can get you in a lot of trouble. your behind to any PP, AQ,AK. no to mention a possible FD. check it and save chips for another battle. not to mention that the player, V2, after you took awhile to call on the flop which you found weird and still has to act

Are you really prepared to bluff/shove on the river, when called?

Just calling on the flop makes your line on the turn look super bluffy. If you're wanting to bet when checked to ott a flop raise is mandatory.

I know it looks bluffy. It obviously looks bluffy, as betting 2 streets and shoving river seems a super strong hand, but we still get calls from top or second pair.

It looks bluffy but we're playing against dorks. I bet the turn based on reads that indicated to me both had overcards.

Actually no. I wanted to scoop the pot right now, if BTN calls, I probably shut out the hand except when hitting an Ace or Jack. BTN should call a shove with any PP.
