i made the pot big so i don't like folding

just sat down. my only read so far is the person with the high hand went crazy with JKA no 3 flush (4 bets on 3rd and 4 bets when caught jack on 4th vs 3 low hands)

Yes, pot big draw good.

I’d probably just call on 4th.

Why the 4th call? I figured the guy with the deuces had two other low cards down and obviously the other guy has the high hand right now so the deuces are behind both ways so I figured I can't be wrong to jam since I'm winning for my direction and want him to pay to draw?

I don't think I know better; I am sincerely trying to learn!

I don’t mind the raise. But if all he has is three to a low I don’t want to force him out just to play for half

Bet fourth.

isn't it better for us to isolate given our ace in the hole? in case we start making aces or aces up vs the high Qxx?

Deuce might be 3 of a kind, although it looks like a made low, your cards are very live. Even drawing against an 86 low made, you aren't in terrible shape for the low

22 would be extremely unlikely to have 222 given:

we have one
he never played it on any street like he had trips, betting and raising
he called a raise on 3rd (though this is less of a factor at smaller stakes)

Ordinarily I would, but I was certain, based on the way the QJ player played the JKA-J jamming every street vs low hands with just one pair, that a guy like that doesn't miss any opportunity to bet their high hand, even when it's a bad idea.

Either they overvalue their high hand or they just love swings. Or both. Probably both.

The first raise on 4th street is OK but I would not re-raise there unless I had 4 to a straight or flush. With no made low you shouldn't put in the extra bet without stronger scoop possibility. Your low will most likely be good if you make it but as someone already pointed out, you only make money if the other low stays in and lose more when you go brick, brick, brick
