1/2 NL at Venetian
V1 ($700) - 35-ish white male from Canada. Pretty drunk. Has lost two large pots to Hero. Does not like folding. Probably playing something like 80/30.
V2 - ($400) - 40-ish white, semi tight/passive playing like 20/5. Just lost his last $150 to V1 which KJ vs 44 on K4xxJ board in the last orbit. Re-bought for $300 and won a decent pot. Hasn't showdown any hand but the 2 pair vs set.
Hero - ($700) - white male in mid 20s, seems TAG and probably playing like 15/10. Only shown down two hands. AcAx vs V1's TcTx on a four clubs board. And Hero's Q6ss vs V1's 99 on a 866 flop. Has had a couple of raise/cbet and take it hands.
Preflop: UTG folds, UTG+1 limps, V1 raises to $12 from UTG+2, V2 calls, call, Hero calls in the CO with KJdd, Button calls, UTG+1 calls.
Flop ($71 - 6 players); Jh8c7h. Checked to Hero who bets $40, only V1 and V2 call.
Turn ($191 - 3 players); 7s. Checked to Hero who....?
TIA

B/f $115. 7x is unlikely.

FWIW unless you were the BB in the Q6s hand and you checked pf, nobody sees you as a TAG. KJ is the silver medalist hand of poker. It typically comes in second at show down. Either raise it or fold it pf.
B/f turn.

Thanks Venice, yeah good point about the image. Pretty sure I could fold for 12 straight hours and next time I raise everybody will just think "Oh, this is the Q6 guy!"
I bet $80, V1 folded and V2 jammed relatively quickly, I folded without much thought.
I feel like I've played similar spots really passive in the past. A lot of times I would check back the turn and pray for a blank on the river then call a bet or bet if checked to. Making sure betting here is standard.
