Hero($180ish) - viewed as super tight TAG, been at the table for awhile and played few hands, table thinks only plays JJ+, EP in the hand

V1($800+) - LAG, has showed down a couple of bottom pair hands that turned into two pair against top pair when all-in situations occurred so doesnt really fold a pair.

Button straddles to $6, call, call, gets to hero who looks at AKo and raises to 50, V1 calls, another calls.

Pot(about $168ish after rake)

Flop: 367 rainbow

Hero??

check and fold to any reasonable sized bet.. if the guy can't fold one pair idk what else you can expect to do here. It sucks that the SPR is <1 here..

Maybe make it 40 pf? You'll still get the money in easily on A high or K high board and you'll save yourself money when you whiff and have to play oop vs calling station. Thoughts?

That said, I know in a tournament situation I'm shoving 100% of the time. You can't make any raise but all-in. Unless he hit a set or slow played something like AA he's folding. Is this a c/f and reload in a ring game? [i.e. is this a c/f because it's a cash game or b/c we expect Villain to call with low pps? Are we giving any credit to Villain thinking Hero is tight and is repping QQ+ if he shoves?]
