I was 3-betting this player more often than normal because they were folding frequently to my 3-bets, I thought this player may have been adjusting by 4-betting me out of frustration but they can very well still have a strong hand/range. I nearly folded pre-flop because I figured it would be difficult to realize my equity OOP but because I thought they might be angry I decided to call and see if they would play more straight-forwardly post flop. I perceive these types of turn bets to be more honest and I thought they're range is crushing me here and folded, thoughts?

JJ is strong enough to get it in here. I prefer 5 bet jam, because oop with JJ in a 4bet pot is really hard to play or ugly to play and you are ending up allin quite often anyway.

GTO wise its probably 50 % call and 50 % jam preflop.

As played the Q on the flop is really ugly because AQ KQ gets there and ofc QQ KK AA has you still beat.
You now beat only AK and TT, i think the call on the flop is okayish, but on the turn its a fold i guess.

I prefer 5bet jam here, but the call preflop and call flop is ok i guess.

I think I should have folded pre, I leveled myself into thinking my opponent could be doing this with less than the top of his 4-bet range because he was frustrated but if I 3-bet him 3 or 4 times in recent past and he folds when he does 4-bet me his range is probrably pretty strong, I think I should have just folded pre tbh because JJ has very difficult time realizing equity in this spot OOP. I think my opponent is playing heavily unbalanced so I could probably exploit him by folding, If I shove hes going to call with probably JJ+,AK which I would be putting my money all in with 36% equity.

Thats a fair point on NL 2 where people probably are massive under 4betting or under 3betting.

i think without exploits and without making yourself exploitable, you never folding here pre? and if you thinking folding JJ, how many Qx hands you got here? so your top 4 best hands here AA-JJ but if you jamming AA-KK (QQ) so you got this spot JJ? or maybe Q set? then jam pre if you dont got here better hands so you have to go all in anyway :f_cool: cheers :f_drink: hope you understand something about this text im tirred

Tricky hand, but tough to fold against a really small 4bet. Shoving seems to much. Sizing could be a way to induce a shove. Post-flop you can't do much than folding the turn. You beat only AK and tough to believe a random villain would play AK like this.

Cheers,
