PRE - seems fine.

FLOP - just check-call seems fine.

TURN - mostly folding against the population. Against this V, in this game, it may be time to take a stand, and check-call again.

RIVER - I don't love it, but we've played the hand so passively to this point, I don't see how we can fold.

I don't really care what hands we could have that would be better or worse to call down with, when it's a monotone flop and V either has us crushed or he's FOS. If this dude is playing ATC this way, top pair $h1t kicker isn't much worse than top set.

If he rolls over a better AX with no flush cards, just pack it in for the night. Poker gods obviously want to make us miserable enough to lay down in traffic.

Your decision here isn't on the river. It's on the turn. Your choice there to call means you have to call on the river. You're basically saying that your garbage ace is going to win against his bluff.

On wild tables, everyone has a different strategy. I' try to keep the pots small, continue only good wtih decent made hands and let the idiots bluff off of bed with bad hands. You'll lose some pots and win some. Be careful of where you raise as they will pay attention. For instance, you have AQ, just called, and flop is A, 6, 2 rainbow. If you raise them here, they'll be like oh he's got it easy fold. The only time to really raise against idiots like this is on the river in position of if you think they have a good made hand but yours is better.

Also, do feel free to coach people around the table on how to play against people playing garbage.
