Correct line? Any advice welcome.

2nd hand at this table, V played the previous hand.

I may fold it and call if he shoved the first time.Still not sure, he could do it with so many combo draws and with the money already in the pot i might go with it.

With no reads, I dont see any other line to take.

i dont mind to jam it here.What i think is that he is going to call you with Axc or QKc,ofc he could have 77 or AQ but you will be propably in flip

I like flatting the raise OTF and folding to a jam on any turn or jamming against a check on a blank non club turn.

IMO 4bet jamming OTF is a very bad decision you would need a set at the very least to do this. your almost never getting called by worse, AK with the K is free rolling on you, and a set or flush have you almost drawing dead.

villain could have QK/K or AJ/J but how often are those hands c/r this flop?

We're smashed when he has 77,QQ,AQ = 12 hands = almsot no equity
We're ahead of 8c8,9c9,TcT,JcJ = 12 hands = ~56% equity
He misses the flop w/ like 60% of his range, and I'd wager he only bluffs a very small % if that range at all in a 3bet pot, so maybe give him 1-2 combos of bluffs. Not including many made flushes in villains range due to Ac out.

So we prob have like 33% equity....May be a fold OTF w/ an SPR of around 5-6.

Foks, don't forget the AXc and QXc hands. and maybe even KTc and KJc. in a $4 it's standard to flat 3bets oop with these hands

could just be me, but id check this flop.

As hand played just flat the raise and re assess turn, jamming is terrible readless imo, what hands do you think we are getting value from on this flop, FD are still 40% and if he has fd with sd or Ax with fd we are flipping or even behind, let alone the potential AQ, set or flopped flush where we are uber crushed and praying for miracles. only possible hand we could be beating well enough to shove 100bb is AJ/AT, and unless hes uber spaz which we cant tell after only 2 hands hes almost never spazzing out with that.

cbet/ fold unless he just clicks buttons in whic hcase 3bjam

Its standard for readless villains to r/c oop w/ 20% of hands? idk...even in a $4 that's pretty liberal...Its not like crazy he could be r/c Top10%, maybe T15%, but that excludes some stuff like QTc,JTc,etc. Maybe he has like KJs,QTs, but that narrows that range of hand sby like 60% or so. Sometimes I think readless its sometimes best to just play tight and assume villain has whats typical of an ABCer in that spot. Just my thoughts.

I get what ur saying though, u see some really loose/sloppy play at these stakes.
