Board hits his preflop calling range pretty hard IMO. What bluffs does he has in his range, if any? Arguments for calling are that this hand is probably on the top of our range. Sets (JJ) are going to be barrelled on turn, just like QQ+ (we could play QQ like this aswell though).

Why do you 3b preflop? Calling is way better.
On river you can call sometimes.

Doesn't it make us easier to get it in when we hit big with these hands if we 3-bet pre? I tend to 3-bet and call 3-bets a lot wider with 200BB+ effective stacks, holding suited connectors or suited aces. That way we hit straights and flushes more often and don't end up with TPTK in a 400BB pot.

I don't like the idea of inflating the pot with these type of hands. I would call pre as well. Looking to this board, I don't think he is doing this with bluff hands or he played Qx hands very strangely.

Most of the times you will hit a draw and big pots are not what is good for that.

I would just call pre flop.
I think you could call OTR.
