Thanks for the reply. I take you point on 3 betting but I do mix in some calls with AQs into my game. If I had to guess I would say 70% 3b 30% flat in this spot. Most of the time I would likely 3b against an unknown opponent but in this particular instance I decided not to. I was at the end of MP and we were 8 handed from memory.
The turn raise does ring major alarm bells against a guy who bought in short. I did indeed jam river with broadway and he slowrolled me with J4s. In fairness I have now idea how he has J4s here but he did
Your point remains valid though that if I 3b he doesn't call lol
Gross spot I guess I hadn't elaborated as I got stacked just after reloading and the slowroll. Plus jamming the river I nearly feel dead due to the min turn raise

I wouldn't flat even if folded around to me in LP or in the blinds, but the fact that you were in MP waaaay increases the risk of having a 5-way pot where the only thing you can do when you miss 2/3rds of the time is check/fold.
Also, there's nothing bad about being seen as 3-betting often when you actually are 3-betting premium hands dealt in quick succession. Next time you 3-bet with a premium hand, you might get more action.
As played, obvious jam on the river. Villain is never folding here with a stack less than the size of the pot; he most likely has a J. And if he has a boat, well you're never folding either. There's no sizing decision here; obvious all-in bet.
How is this a gross spot?
