2/5 NL Only 5 handed at this point and the table is about to either break or more people will be joining us soon. We agreed to not chop the blinds a couple hands before.
Folds to the SB who seems like a decent young reg. He makes it $15. I’m in the BB and 3 bet to $40 with KsJs. Usually I’d make it at least $45 and more likely $50 but I don’t really mind him calling since I’m in position with a good hand.
To my surprise he makes it $120 total. Now I made a few 3 bets preflop in the last hour that didn’t get to showdown and I’m sure he noticed this so I think his 4 bet light here.
Flop: Js 7c 4h (pot $240) He leads out $80 and I have ~$385 behind. What’s the play? Is a shove really that bad here?

I think you just flat on this board with not many draws. Let him keep bluffing if he is. Only real scare cards on turn are ace and queen. All the rest are pretty good for a shove.

Flat or 3bet pre, either one is fine. Fold to the 4bet though, we are not deep enough to call here in position with a hand with some serious RIO implications.
AP, anything other than flatting seems really bad.

I think flop is a flat by default as the other 2 options seem bad.
