Table is 7-handed. MP limps, BN calls, I raise Q
Q
from SB, BB calls, MP now 3bets, BN calls, I cap and four of us take a flop.

(16 SB)
When MP limp/3bets, I put him on a premium PP because that's what people like to do in NL, which is the game I'm transitioning from. I can't see many 8/16 players doing this with 99 or AJ type hands. MP is also a WG in his early 30s, so decades younger than a typical 8/16 player fwiw. He bought in for two racks and seems semi competent at the very least.
Anyways I decide to X to him since I can't beat JJ anymore. He bets, and we all call. I know most will say raise but i didn't feel like getting into a raising war vs the range I put him on.
Turn K
(4-way for 10 BB)
X to MP who bets, BN folds. Can't beat AK now but maybe he has a FD or some kind of Jx. I call.
HU to riv: J
(12 BB)
MP bets. Can't beat Jx now. I sigh call.
Thoughts?
