What do you do when you have JJ and you're facing a PF jam with no read on the opponent?

I find myself in this situation all the time in these micro games. I open for 3BB with TT/JJ/AQ/AJs and a short stack jam for 50-70BB. Is it a call?

Zoom poker, only 3 hands on villain. I am very new to holdem cash and I am not sure what to do on the turn. I am really torn between all 3 options. Anybody likes a shove here to get him to fold something like AK or JJ that decided to bet the turn?

Would love any quick thoughts on this line -- particularly the turn bet. Thanks!!!

Folding pre doesn't seem bad. Villain should have a tighter BB 3b range and if we believe villain is 3betting light there are better hands for us to defend with that aren't as easily dominated.

As played jamming turn doesn't seem bad as it puts JJ-AA, AQ, AK in a tough spot.

Not donking flop is never a mistake. You could've lead but the way you played it is fine. I would 3bet pre.

Hey anyone wanna be a complete legend and point me in the direction of some good theory for dealing with short stackers? Cant seem to access the archive here. Sorry if asking in the wrong place. Nice one in advance!

BB: $4 (80 bb)
UTG: $2.94 (58.8 bb)
MP: $11.26 (225.2 bb) 76/46(39)
CO: $4.23 (84.6 bb)
Hero (BTN): $5.76 (115.2 bb)
SB: $5 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A Q
UTG folds, MP raises to $0.20, CO folds, Hero raises to $0.70, 2 folds, MP calls $0.50

MP has 86% call 3 bet but I only have 39 stats on him.
76 VPIP and 46 PFR probably fair to say he is lose aggressive.

I estimate his range as: 372 combos
JJ-33
AQs-A2s, KQs-K6s, QJs-Q8s, JTs-J8s, T9s->54s, T8s->64s
AKo-A5o, KQo-KTo, QJo-QTo, JTo


Flop: ($1.47) 2 4 8 (2 players)
MP bets $0.73, Hero calls $0.73s

so what's he donking the flop with?
sets 88,44
over pairs JJ,TT,99
top pair A8s-98s, 87s, 86s
flush draw + pair 64, 54

i'm guessing flush draws and straight draws aren't donking

flopzilla says I have 54% eq so i need pot odds greater than 46:54
i'm getting 73:220 so call is pot odds justified and there must also be implied odds from someone this loose aggressive.

Turn: ($2.93) 7 (2 players)
MP bets $1.06, Hero calls $1.06

I have betting
straight 56
set 88, 44
two pairs 87s
overpair JJ, TT, 99
top pair A8s-98s, 86s, A8o

flopzilla says I have 34% equity and I'm getting 4/1 pot odds so call justified.

River: ($5.05) 5 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero bets $2.52, MP calls $2.52

I want him to call so only bet half pot.

How is my analysis and line?

River was a very weird spot. Felt like AA/KK wouldve probably 3bet me pre and QQ mightve raised turn, though none of those are 100%. Couldn't think of many tens in his range, because they would have to be suited to have made it to the river in most combos?! KT probably should've folded turn?! QTs is possible in 1 combo.

So his range on the river is like 8 combos of AT, 1 combo of QT (diamonds), 6 combos of pocket 9s?? Meaning 15 combos of hands that beat me?!
And then 6 combos of AQ, 6 combos of KQ, 6 combos of AJ = 18 combos i beat. Splitting with other AKs which would've also likely 3bet me pre.

Don't really see many bluffs he could have. Busted flush draws are about the only thing, but i tried pretty hard to price them out on the turn already.

So i guess it comes down to how wide we think he's shoving there and which of those combos he could continue with under the pressure of my barrels?! I really wasn't sure about that spot...
If you think he's capable of flatting AA/KK pre and playing them passively the spot becomes worse. Same with QQ playing turn passively. Those asumptions skew the percentages of what value shoves we can / can't beat.

Anyone folding aces on the flop facing the shove? Not me. Even if we narrow his range down to 33,77 and add 50% of combos of KK, we have about 50% equity.

V stats are 40/5

Turn: ($1.45) Q (2 players)

think my call of his flop raise was a mistake given his AF=2
can't see him raising me with less than 2 pair and think he's got lots in his range that beats me on that flop

I think the call is fine, v can raise QJ, KQ, JT. Unfortunate turn. Wp.

AF = 2 but over too small sample size to make his AF meaningful. The line looks fine imo

I think I probably should have bet the flop, but given how this played out I'm not sure if Villain will be betting any worse hands than me for value

Wp imo. No point in betting flop. Turn we beat bluffs which will value bet on river. Small pairs with a club, SCs, also sets and random spazz. We also block some KJ, QJ, JT so call.

Sick spot but I think fold is good right?

Bottom set here in a 2bet pot IP facing a triple barrel. Should we be raising river for value on this board? We lose to higher sets and QJ combos.

Yes, you're miles ahead of lower sets, 2P, and draws, but A, K, Q, J, T and diamonds kill your action OTT.

Your cbet is way too small for that board. If they're calling at all, they're calling a lot of bets between half to full pot. As played I don't think you can get away from it. There's a ton of draws that would feel great about shoving here and you're crushing all of those. His hand is the absolute worst case and you're still 40%.
