Your line if you raise OTR seems incredibly value heavy, i don't think you have many bluffs if any at all. The main thing here would be if you think V would be willing to pay a river raise with an Ax. Best case scenario he has AK,A3-A5, anything else that isn't AA,QQ,44 is most likely folding. That being said, I think you could raise for value and fold to a 4bet knowing you are most likely behind.

Well he's saying he has 22, 67, A2s, or a set. I doubt he's calling a raise with a worse two pair. I don't think raising is advisable.

Your play up until this point is very good. 3-betting pre is certainly a viable option as well. I 3-bet AQo 100% of the time fwiw.
