Against most opponents, I do not think I am folding here, but I also think that the quality of my play against an opponent that shows a lot of strength is one of my biggest leaks right now (not folding enough). Real-time, I figured EP's 4-bet range is fairly small given our positions (not a steal situation) and because of the loose caller behind me, so I decided to fold here.

After the fact thoughts:

EP's unopened PFR from early is 13.5% (95/705), approximate range (55+, A8s+, KJs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+).

If I estimate EP's 4-bet range as QQ+, I think folding is the right answer. If I add AKs and AKo, I am not sure how to play most flops that are J high or less, so folding is still probably right for me.

I think 3-bet pre-flop is fine, although I am not sure if the amount is appropriate. I estimate EP's calling range as (JJ-88,AQs,AQo). So 22% of the time we are seeing a flop where I have 77% equity, 63% of the time EP folds, and 16% of the time I am facing a 4-bet from EP. This ignores the other players left to act, but 3-bet appears to be +EV and easier for me to play compared to just calling.

Thank you in advance for your comments on my play or thought process.

I'm okay with okay with either a fold or a jam. Probably leaving more towards a fold though. I think calling is terrible because without flipping a Q were apt to get lost in the hand.

AP totally fine.

I would of folded too. Not really keen on a 4bet from EP spot. Seems pretty polarised to 10s, jacks, kings or aces so essentially risking your stack on a coin toss. I'm not perfect though and just learning myself.

I would also fold here. EP already has a tight 3bet range, and in this case, he's 4betting from EP and was the initial raiser.
I only see this player showing up here with pocket pairs bigger than ours.
