i doubt population is 3betting wide enough vs UTG for this to be a 4b pre, tho i guess you do potentially avoid some rake.

i think flop bet should be smaller. you could also just x/f flop against what i imagine is a very tight range

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but 4 betting jj is usually a bad idea considering you're dominated by qq+. Makes sense to flat the 3 bet and then check/fold to aggression on flop unless you have some conflicting read on villain which makes his 3 betting range loose.

If we are going to 4 bet JJ, it shouldn’t be to this size. Especially at 5 NL where I assume the population isn’t three betting 8% or what have you.

I’d probably just 4 bet to $1.05 if I were to 4 bet

I have JJ as a low frequency 4bet fold from these positions, usually just a flat. Flop size is bad, size down to like 1/4th 1/5th pot.

SPR is too low to be betting that big OTF. The money will get in across 3 streets very easily so smaller sizing is preferred to put all his middling hands in a tough spots.
