Very interesting spot. Can’t wait for all the comments.
My initial reaction is that with a close to 2 spr on the flop, V can go with any Kx hands. If I cbet, I’d want to make it big enough that I can interpret a jam as 2 pair or better. So I would c-bet 35-40k to make decisions easier. As played V can interpret our c bet as weak and could have draws on this wet board to bluff with. So agree it’s an uncomfortable call.
I do like a check back on flop best given the spr. We have A high that could be good if they are on a draw and could improve to the nuts with a diamond. Love seeing a free card in this spot. And when we hit the flush, we can get it in on later streets given the low spr.
If we had been deeper, then I see needing to build pot on flop to get stacks in by river or make a paired hand fold by river. But no need to bet three streets here.
