2/5 $100 max bet
V is a horrible regfish. Calls any sized raise wide if he has a hand he wants to see a flop with. Usually donks out on flop with TP+ with an overbet, check/calls draws and underpairs. Sometimes reverses these trends, donking out with draws or (more rarely) c/call with TPNK-2p. (~400)
Hero has been pretty quite, due to card deadness. Not joining in on 5+way limps often, and (sadly) has been c/f when he has, as he's been flop-dead as well. Raising between $15 and $40 (depending on number of limpers) and either taking it down on flop with c-bet, or folding due to action (usually from V above) before it gets to me indicating that mhing.

2 Limpers to Hero OTB, who raises to $35 with J:spade J
(raise sized as though V is one of the limpers, due to his super-sticky PF nature)
V cold-calls from BB, limpers fold. His range for this is anything he considers a playable hand. Any two broadway, any suited ace, any pair, almost all suited connectors, one-gappers, or KXs.
Pot: $90

V checks (damnit) This pretty much eliminates an ace from his range, as he'd almost always smugly donk it, especially with the FD out.
Hero checks back. I was willing to risk the flush coming in here to try to let him catch up and/or sense weakness, so I can somewhat get paid. He's almost sure to fold to a c-bet without an ace, unless he has the FD. Thoughts on this line?

V checks (double-damn)
Hero: ?? Especially with the max of $100 per bet, I have to bet here to try and build the pot and just take the chance that he has nothing he can call with, yes?
