Bottom Set OOP on WET Flop
First HH on this forum so please let me know if I've done something incorrectly. I'm trying to format as close to recommendations as possible.
$1.50/$3 table through an app-based Pokerrrrrrrr club. In general, players are loose-passive (play too many hands preflop and don't do a ton of bluffing). Every now and then there are players who make terrible errors/plays, but they aren't part of this hand.
V1 ($430) HJ - Solid player who I've often seen make big river bets when his opponent caps their range... makes me think he's paying attention.
V2 ($500) CO - Typical loose-passive player. Haven't seen him do anything too memorable.
H ($525) UTG - TAG, especially when UTG (but I don't know if Vs have picked up on this).
Hero opens $9
to $9 UTG. Folds to V1 in HJ who calls, V2 in CO calls. Button and blinds fold.
Flop ($31.50):


Hero bets $21
V1 calls
V2 makes it $62
Hero?
This is a spot where I tend to freeze up and have a hard time deciding the best way to proceed. I'm not folding, but what's the best way to extract value from worse hands?

If I call and V1 calls there are a ton of turns I dislike... club, T, 9.
I like the board pairing since it gets me ahead of clubs and T9. It gives me the worst FH if I was up against 2pr, but I probably would stack off assuming BOTH Vs weren't still extremely interested in getting it all in.
I think I would lead on a blank or if the board paired, feeling the need to keep V1 from seeing a free card.
If V1 folds I don't think I would lead. I'm not sure I can articulate why. I don't think there are many cards that will change who is ahead. I feel like if we get stacks in the only thing I'm beating is 2pr (there aren't many possibilities of that and he may even ditch some of those, especially if the flush comes in), but if we play for a medium-sized pot I'm winning a lot.
I'm not sure if that logic makes sense or not...
I think JJ, TT, JTs, JTo, are all in V2’s calling range.
Ok, thanks! I elected to 3bet but want sure if I was being over-worried about V1. I’m assuming you’d pick a sizing to target JT?
It's a bit uncomfortable if V2 has JJ/TT in their range tho, which typically I wouldn't expect, but you know this player pool.
