$260 live mtt. Sitting on a 24.3k stack at 300-600 75. Open to 1200 (w jj)rom utg+1 at 8 handed table, get 3 bet to 3700 by semi young guy. Havenet seen him 3 bet first 5 levels and would say he's prolly a little on tighter side. Only history is I called him down early on when he 3 barrel bluffs early in event with a flush draw when I had tptk. He ends up barreling flop, turn, and river when I'm oop and I take a pot control line.

So hand, I open to 1200 with jj, he 3bets 3700 (2 spots to my left). Gets back to me. I think 2 min and know this is prolly spewy but jam 40 bbs. Can I chalk this up to just being a cooler or do I somehow have to find a fold and look for better spot here. Against an assumed 3 betting range, I assume it's prolly 10-10+, aq+ but maybe tighter. I didn't feel like just calling bc I know I'm getting it in on most low flops. Urgh was hoping he had aq or ak.

Honestly just wondering if I should just chalk this up to a cooler or do I need to muck and find better spot? With his perceived range and fact he hasn't 3 bet at all, I'm assuming this is a fold. At best we flip and majority of time we are crushed. Thanks for input. I would say getting it in is prolly fine with 25 bbs or less is ok but 40 is too many to get in pf??

What did he have on the flush draw hand?

Shoving is not very good IMO. 3-betting an early position raiser in early position should send warning signals. Just flat pre. We have 40bbs. Play some poker.

Lets just say his 3-betting range is TT+,AQ+. What part of that range do you think he's calling with?

Yea shoving is terrible when I look back. Hope he's calling with Ak,aq, 10-10. But yea good luck probably only ak is calling in that combo and all others qq+ dominate me.

Flush draw hand, I believe I had aq on a q-5-8 flop with two flush cards out. I basically led out on flop and check called turn+ river out of position trying not to play a big pot. Turn and river did not bring diamond and k or higher.

Reason I don't flat but this is prolly bad. I'm folding almost all flops with a q/k/a and any competent player should Cbet those flops 100% of time. Result was me donating chips if I flat bc I'm
Getting it in on all low raggy flops. Bad play by me though
Honestly. I just have trouble folding high pairs when I haven't gotten a lot of good hands after 5 rounds and I feel I only
Make this fold to an old nit or someone who is playing super nitty.

No 3bet for five levels would have alarms going off, JJ no good (coin flip at best). This is such a commonly misplayrd hand for me. I've done this a lot and yes it's spewing!

Agree with just flat.

Bongo, TT is your only hope here... Tough, but flat.

its spewing only because you Jammed... i see nothing at all wrong with investing 4 more BB with a flat.. yes, if he's competent, he will bet on any A / K ... not sure about Q though.. and dont forget, you could get a nice flop as well... not only J-x-x, but connected cards for a 4 straight/4 flush, backdoor draws to either, or a 10 high flop. all those combos for a mere 4 BB flat...

i think a fold here is WAY too nitty

gotta flat here. Your 4 bet shove is only getting called by a pretty narrow range that is probably like JJ+ AK+
