10-20 Stud8, 5 handed, part of OE mix
Villain is basically ridiculous, famous in the game for capping early with all sorts of nonsense, will generally barrel the first couple streets and if he slows down he sure as hell isn't folding until mayyyybe the river. V2 plays pretty straightforward but on the loose side especially in Stud8.
$2 antes, V1 brings in for 3 with xx5
, couple face cards fold, V2 with J
limps, Hero completes to $10 with (A

)5
, V raises to 20, V2 calls, Hero raises to 30, V1 caps it to 40, V2 and H call. V1's range is big pairs, Ace-low-5, hearts with 2+ low, probably most 3-card lows 7 or lower. He just happily caps 3rd with playable hands. V2 would probably raise Js, more likely has clubs or straight draw.

Hero checks, V1 bets 20, Hero ??
Getting 11 to 1 but if V1 is already there on hearts we would barely be getting odds to draw in Stud High only. If he has a low heart we have like 4-5% equity. If he just has a low and draw we are around 33%. If he has a big pair or 2-pair we are around 65%. Call and fold river unimproved? Call both streets due to V's wide range? Give up now? I guess with this runout V is still betting 100% of his range.
Thoughts appreciated.
