Pre-flop I am getting good pot odds to call, 2:1, I need to have 33% equity and I think I am ahead of AK,AQ , I think TT may also be in villains range if he believes I am weak and just trying to re-steal the pot or make a "move".
On the flop I naturally check, and V checks behind, this is interesting because I believe AQ should be betting the flop, as well as KK, AA. Turn is a bad card for me so I check again. V bets so small I feel like I cannot fold to this sizing even though the K is great for his range. OTR I check again and V bets 25% pot, I am getting great pot odds but I tanked for a while and I can not come up with a hand I am ahead of that he is betting for value. V bets 50c here and I think he left himself 30c behind, why would he not just shove here? I read this as a very strong play desperately trying to get value.
