I play bovada 5NL and 10NL and when you have JJ and QQ facing a 4bet, what is the most +EV/profitable move?

In these stakes people aren't 4betting with much besides QQ+ and AK (and the occasional aggro 4betting with TT or JJ). So is a fold fine? It's tough to lay these hands down.

So far I have been flatting it and it's tough because in a board of all unders it's tough to fold because there are so many combos of AK that I'm crushing, so I'm always in an awful spot. Should I just avoid this altogether by folding, or is set mining and then force-folding even on all under-boards the best bet?

Just wondering.

Foldings fine vs nits

Look at this way

Lets say you have JJ or QQ you 3bet and you get 4bet by a nit who's range is QQ+ AK and you fold.

If this happens every time he has a monster hand who is playing better poker?

Edit : I would probably stop 3betting nits who fold a lot and only 4bet monsters.

So I suppose part of the problem is that I'm playing bovada, and also their ZONE variant, so I have 0 information on the player. No read at all.

That's what makes it worse. But generally speaking, 4bets are very strong in these games so I guess folding every time is fine.

Don't 3bet unless you are intending to get it in. The best spot to get it in are steal positions. Example, say you have QQ in the bb, button opens, you 3bet, button 4bet, you can 5bet and call a shove.
Don't worry about having a 5bet bluff range to "balance", noone will know.
