Hey

Villain regular on anonymous table, wasn't out of line. I didn't 4b since didn't want to isolate vs stronger range.
How would you play hand further? What do you think about turning hand in to a bluff and bet all streets (is it too optimistic to try to make him fold AK?)?
I believe this hand in showdown is no good:|

Thanks;)

Prima, $0.50/$1 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

BB: $122.26 (122.3 bb)
UTG: $100 (100 bb)
Hero (MP): $100 (100 bb)
CO: $150.30 (150.3 bb)
BTN: $30.91 (30.9 bb)
SB: $117 (117 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with J J
UTG raises to $3, Hero calls $3, 2 folds, SB raises to $12, 2 folds, Hero calls $9

Flop: ($28) Q T A (2 players)
SB checks,

Hi,

I think it's a close spot actually. I guess the main problem is that we can't really size it properly to set up for a scary river shove. The pot is already 28$ and we only have 88$ behind. We basically have to go like 40%, 40%, 40% or so, and then he might just decide to call the river with AK because turn and river bricked. What we could instead do is size it bigger on the flop and shove turn for almost pot. I think that's quite cool actually. I think it's overall a pretty tough spot, he could definitely have some stronger hands here such as lol top set, or just never fold AK, but at the same time he could have like KQ or A8s, against which not bluffing would be a big misstake. But I guess if you're feeling frisky 22$ --> shove turn is kind of a cool line.
