Flop (375) - QdJc4d

I bet 400, Villian makes it 2K.......

Fold or Shove?
Grunch... I think it's worse for you that you have the Ad, not better. Far less combo draws in villain's range... You overbet the pot, signifying in my mind that you are ready to call it off, so I feel like villain's shoving now instead of later in case a scare card peels off, and that he's doing it for value with a set or possibly top two... Plus you gave villain great odds to setmine, raising only 5% of effective stacks; when you 3bet so little preflop you have to be prepared to let go of it postflop. I think it's a fold.

Shove, fade KdJd or JdTd 85% of the time, run into QJ or JJ the other 15% of the time.

So 85% of the time youre up against 2 of the 17 combos mentioned above? That seems like the wrong approach.

3betting the AA is mandatory in the straddle, make it like $320 though bc that's what you would do if you were bluff 3 betting.

When villain shoves flop it's call. You having the Ad strengthens your opponents range but it is still a call. If you have some read that opponent is a nit or something and is scared of draws hitting all the time you can fold but w/o a read call.

Why would you 3 bet so large? By doing so you're folding out almost everything and getting no value for your hand. Additionally you're wasting money bluffing at this size since a smaller amount would do the trick. Unless you're goal is to take the pot down pre with both your value hands and bluffs than 4.5x seems a
Spewy to me
