SB: $2.32 (116 bb)
BB: $1.95 (97.5 bb)
UTG: $2 (100 bb)
MP: $2.24 (112 bb)
CO: $1.96 (98 bb)
Hero (BTN): $2 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with J♦: J♠:
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.06, SB folds, BB raises to $0.18, Hero raises to $0.56, BB calls $0.38
I bet a little bigger (3x) as BB was not a full stack, so I assumed a little fishy.
When he 3-bet I was in 2 minds to call or 4bet - decided to go with the 4bet to keep the initiative in position. What was my sizing like? A little too big?

Flop: ($1.13) Q♥: 9♠: 2♣: (2 players)
BB bets $1.08, Hero ?
Rainbow board and 1 over card to my JJ.
BB range? AA and KK shove pre-flop? AK, AQ, KQ, QQ, JJ, ATs+ More broadways? I guess I am folding or shoving - I think I have to fold, right?

Your 4bet size is a bit too big. Standard 4bet would be 2.2 - 2.5x. Now you are raising more than 3x his 3bet. Now you might have awkward stack size postflop.

OTF I think villains play doesn't make much sense. When it doesn't make sense it is a bit safer to treat it as a strong hand. I believe folding should be fine.

AA and KK are definitely in his range, he may choose to play them just like that. I think you should fold. And what your plan is if he 5-bet shove? Is your 4-bet for bluff, or for value?
