Your read of villain does not justify playing OOP with J9s at all.

What you did in this hand was pretty much "calling for information" kind of bad play.

You opened in a passive table (that's fine, no problem there), then you decided with very little read and zero plan to call the min 3-bet OOP.

Btw, playing fit-or-fold is not a plan...

KK would be an obvious 4bet, so yeah...I'd be curious to see what the responses would have been if I posted this from V's point of view. Stacks might not be deep enough to get a fold from AA very often, but logically there isn't much AA is beating that raises PF and then donk/3b shoves the flop in a 3b pot.
It'd be weird of villain to assume you can have combo draws but not regular draws or other (semi)bluffs. If you're calling with J9s here you're calling with all manner of suited connectors/suited aces/other speculative hands, and if you're only continuing with them postflop when you flop something as strong as strong as a combo draw, you're hemorrhaging money with your preflop calls.

I've lost a lot of money incorrectly assuming villains have a 3b range wider than KK+. I'm trying to train myself to look for stronger evidence than what you have here. So, I think I would fold pre to the min 3b.

Hate the showing of hands thing too. (I have same leak when tired.)

It seems like he may have correctly assumed that he kept your entire range to continue with the small 3b. It might be a bit of a crying call, but as villain I would consider the shove call obligatory. Can a thinking villain completely discount KcQc or AcQc here, for example?

If he wants me to call with hands that have a good chance of cracking big pairs then sure, he did. A larger 3bet would have made it more likely that I'm only going to call him with pocket pairs and AK. His stack size might be a little small to be calling the 3b, but SPR is still 4.5. If he had a $200 stack or made the 3b any larger I would've folded. His range for a light 3b should still be more like TT+ and ATs+/AQo+/KQs, so it's not like he just always has QQ+ here with this sizing.
If I were the V, your $10 into $53 would not alert to me 88/44. Can't tell if there was any solid 3-bet history, however based on descript your overall image seemed spewy.

His sizing in this hand is more than proportionate from a dead $ perspective. He raised to $25 with $13 in the pot, 1.9x. His previous raise of $42 was into $25, 1.7x. The absolute amount is obviously smaller but clearly proportionate. I would not have read anything into the PF sizing.
