Hi,

I'm not sure how to play this hand, should I be more aggressive preflop and 3 bet? And which range should I be 3 betting with in this spot?
Also I think I played the hand way to passive after, what are your thoughts?

BTN: 111.5 BB (VPIP: 18.52, PFR: 12.96, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 55)

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has J♣ J♦

fold, MP raises to 4 BB, Hero calls 4 BB, fold, SB calls 3.5 BB, fold

Flop: (13 BB, 3 players) 9♥ 4♣ 6♠
SB bets 6 BB, fold, Hero calls 6 BB

Turn: (25 BB, 2 players) T♠
SB bets 12 BB, Hero calls 12 BB

River: (49 BB, 2 players) 2♠
SB bets 23.5 BB, Hero calls 23.5 BB

Spoiler

SB shows 9♠ J♠ (Flush, Jack High)

Tripple barrell with worse hands I think it is very rare. So in my oppinion river is fold.

COvsMP JJ is a call.
You can call him down. His bets are not big.

Calling this pre is good. When villain bets so small I think you can call this down.

Ok, but when I only call here, don't I invite the player on the big blind to see a flop very cheaply?

Maybe, but I'm not sure if it is a very bad thing. We still have the best hand OTF quite often.

I think this does not bother us that much. We have a good hand preflop and we can attack certain flops+we can hit a set.

It is well played. You can also play it more aggressively, e.g. by 3-betting preflop. There is no RULE stating that you cannot 3-bet the fourth strongest hand and play it in position, it is just that it happens to be modern to flat with QQ/JJ. If you chose another style, then you also have to 3-bet more otherwise typical calling hands, like small pairs and sited connectors. Such a style is more difficult to play.

I think as played is good, I would have done the same. Villain opens to 4bb, a 3-bet would increase the pot a lot. I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Post flop villain bets very small, I would call all 3 streets.
