1. calling is fine
2. I like a smallish bet when MW
play 4b or fold, the rake is too high to justify cold calling.
I would 4B to 4,5$ pre, unsure what to do vs all-in. I'm not a fan of Cold-calling 3B.
1. 4bet. When you flat you're giving the original raiser great odds to call as well and JJ doesn't really want to play multi-way
2. small bet. Denies free equity realisation to over-cards but doesn't expose you as badly to check-raises.
if your going to flat pre you need to be prepared to fold otf
Yeah 4bet pre, in general you virtually never want a 3bet cc range for many reasons which boil down to it being -EV. Make it like 22bb pre and fold to a jam from non-aggro whales in these positions. Oh, and as played, bet flop and pretty much don't fold to further action on the flop readless.
Thanks for your inputs, guys!
I took the dumbest action possible, overbet jammed, MP snapped with QJ nut straight (lol).
I still have mixed feelings about (cold)4betting JJ, but you convinced me it is the least worst option.
