2/5, $500 effective
Hero raises $20 HJ with AJs
CO (loose-passive) calls $20
BTN (loose-passive) calls $20
SB (unknown MAWG wearing hoody and sunglasses) 3bets to $125
Hero ???
I'm considering all 3 options here (fold, call or 4bet jam). Thoughts?

6bet, you know I am nittier than GG.
Maybe the unknown MAWG actually has a big hand?

Just fold, and it's not even close. You need to have seen this V 3-bet bluff before, from the SB, before this is even worth thinking about.
AJs performs terribly against most Villain's 3-bet range. Flopping a flush, straight, or trip jacks are the only flops you're happy about.

Folding this all day long and it not even close.
Your range is simply crushed,if he is making a move nice timing

I’m guessing you jammed into KK.

based on limited info about villain I think I'm flatting this; Hoodie and sunglasses does not mean nit by any means; he should have some hands in his range your hand plays well against like KQs, ATs ect. ; and you're in position; If I've seen a few orbits this becomes much simpler for me

The answer for how to respond to the squeeze is super player dependent. For example, there is a broad in my home game that if she was the villain in this hand I’m coming over the top all day long and laughing in her face when she folds. However, there are a few old guy regs at my casino, if they are villlain here, my hand is in the muck before their chips cross the betting line. MAWG with hoodies and sunglasses (really, who wears sunglasses indoors) is not enough info to know his range. I tend to err in the side of caution until I know more about the player. Fold.

Easy fold
Only a call if i've seen villain 3betting 15%+ from blinds or seen him showdown a hand worse then AJ where he was 3bettor.
Probably never a jam.

Against an unknown this is generally a fold. At 2/5 there are more TAGs then LAGs so you should default to caution.
AJs isn't good enough to mess around here. Flatting is terrible because SPR will be small and hitting one pair is likely bad. Shoving only gets called if you are beat and your hand doesn't do well against anything that might call so you need a lot of bluffs in villain's range.

It shouldn’t change because you are still only 100bb deep. Calling is out of question. So it’s a shove or fold. And AJss doesn’t fare too well against his range.

With the new info I would still be folding here with AJs,
I might open my 4bet/jam range on this guy if I started too see 99/AJs in his 3bet range
But I still think AJs is just too weak
I think AQs/JJ+ would be new 4bet range against this guy.

I'm folding and not worrying about it - I'm ok with being wrong every now and then if the other 90% of the time I'm crushed.
