Here I decided to cbet 50% to polarise a bit more on a mostly favourable flop, no particular read on the player, other than we a little more stationy, so I thought the increase in size would make sure that low pocket pairs would fold, 99+ will likely call, I also have some good blockers for AQ, and have an overcard and bdfd.
According to the solver, this is a hand to mostly B33 with, which is confusing since we B50 a lot with AJss, I'm not sure why having a T is worse, I guess due to QJs being blocked? I guess AJ also blocks JJ which will likely call at least one bet.
I check turn and block river, vs the jam I think we have a clear call. This is such an easy node to overbluff, so many draws miss, and there is little value that villain can have, AQs and AQo, QQ, 77 and AA. The deuce is a brick and apart from quad 2's, I think plays no role in the hand but make sets even less common in his range.
Roughly speaking I think that I'm good here like 50% of the time, I need 31% given my pot odds so I think I can call.

I guess I could start off 4betting a bit bigger, like 26bb, but we're only 140bb deep,
Flop is not the best, since JJ and QQ get there, but I think I can bet small for value, AQs AJs, KQs, can all call.
On the turn, the jack pairs, I think I can check also, I think if we were deeper, I would check more often. Maybe since no fd came in, I can check more?
Either way, I triple it off for value, we lose to AA, QQ, JJ, this is 6 combos of AA, some will 5B, like say half the time, so 3 combos, 3 combos of QQ and 1 combo of JJ, for 7 combos. 5 Combos of KJs, AJs and QJs total, 12 combos of value.
Tough to know if he calls the 4B with AQo, if he doesnt its a bit more of a torch. Also depends if he gets stationy with TT or 99 looking to hero call.
This is a spot where after I bet the turn, I think I have to jam for value. I think Jam is better than check-call as if the do have AQ or KQ or TT/99 that was stationy, I need to put them in a tough position and get paid, otherwise they just jam AA and trips+.
Overall I think that I should check the turn and bet-fold the river, or call turn bet and fold the river.

Fish limps and calls, can have pretty much any 2 cards.
I barrel turn with an OESD even on a paired flop, I face a minraise, which is very strong, likely to be Qx or AT at minimum. Given pot odds I need 19%, I figured I have 8 outs that are clean, and sometimes I can hit a pair and villain will check back and I'll win.
If I hit my draw I dont think villain will ever fold trips, so I thought it was a call.
Once I hit the straight, I dont think I can fold to a jam, Its very possible I am not ahead. Vs a larger raise I think I can fold, but not vs min raise on turn.
