Villain 1: Young guy. Bought in for $200. Clearly a recreational player. He recently doubled up after calling his last $75 with second pair and sucked out.
Villain 2: Only been at table for a couple orbits and hasn't been involved. Only data on him is that he bought in super deep compared to most players and was greeted by several people when he arrived to the card room. Seems like a reg.

Hero: About two hours into session.

$1/3 NL (8 handed)
UTG V1 ($115)
UTG+1
LJ
HJ
CO
Button Hero ($600)
SB
BB V2 ($1000)

Hero is dealt AK

V1 limps UTG. Hero raises to $15 on the button. V2 calls in BB and V1 calls UTG.

Flop ($46) KJ3

V2 checks. V1 leads for $20. He only has $80 behind. I'm not sure how to proceed given that I still have V2 behind and we are deep. V1's stack size is throwing me off. I'd like to raise to iso V1 because I expect that he will call with a wide range, but I'm not sure how to size it. I'm hesitant to call and give V2 4:1 closing the action.

Thanks in advance.

I'd call. The kid's sad stack is most likely to go in ott anyway and raising makes BB's life too easy.

seems like a call.

Raise to $60. If V1 shoves puts V2 in a tough spot b/c it re-opens action to you. Never mind he starts flop with $100 not $100 after bet. Yeah, call.

I'm fine with preflop.

I'd just ship the last of the shorties money in here. If V2 continues to that, then I'd play more cautiously on later streets.

ETA: Not sure why everyone wants to call? There's a crapload of dead money and we can isolate the terrible shorty all to ourselves. I'm not looking to invite V2 along here.

This.

Raise like you got a pair.

Min raise. Commits vs shorty and threatens the other stack as cheaply as possible. Raising to 60 so shorty shove reopens is fine too

I would like to raise and put the shortie all in.
