It's worth noting that you aren't a favorite against the range you put V on – you have 46% equity (I added KQ to V's range, because I dont see why he'd play KJ and AK this way but not KQ). That could quite possibly making folding to the flop raise correct. It certainly means that you don't want to raise at any point, and you also need to recognize that Villain's range usually gets stronger as he continues to bet. In other words, by the river, especially with QJ getting there, you are probably quite a bit further behind his range, so I would definitely fold at that point if not before.

Yeah I would just fold to the flop raise most of the time. It is super early and you have tons of chips. Most people aren't raising this flop and getting out of line at 15/30. You only beat draws and a few Kx combos. Save yourself the trip to no mans land on the turn and just fold. Not like you are getting much value unless he is blasting off a flushdraw and doesn't get there and you hero the whole way. This is rarely the case imo.
